The School-based Mental Health ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) project is a collaboration between Stanford Center for Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing alongside various school and community partners across California to improve the capacity of school mental health providers and educational partners to implement effective models and clinical supports for student mental health and wellness.

Utilizing the ECHO model, we work to enhance knowledge of best practices in school-related topics, foster professional connections between providers and school professionals, and provide clinical guidance that enhances youth mental health in educational settings.

The intended audience for this ECHO includes school health and mental health professionals, related school support staff, community mental health providers (including clinicians) working in schools, educators, and school/district/health/mental health administrators.

ECHOs this year will be held on Thursdays from 12 noon to 1:15 p.m. PST. Register to receive the Zoom link one hour prior to the session starting.

It serves as an opportunity to share a real-life case with the ECHO community and receive guidance from a multidisciplinary team of subject matter experts to enhance school-based health interventions. If you are school personnel or a community provider who works in a school setting and have a case you would like to share with our ECHO community, sign up to be a case presenter!
