It is a new month, which means a new opportunity to learn.

Nine ECHO sessions this week are showcased in this week's ECHO Extra.

This week includes Autism in Schools & Communities, Community Health Worker, Medical Forensic, Family Support Provider and the last Su***de Prevention in Health Care session before it breaks for the summer.

The heart of learning in ECHO is through the cases. Participants bring a case, situation or scenario from their practice that they want additional support with. It could be a simple or complex situation.

Submitting and presenting cases is simple and a judgement free zone.
