National ECHO: Geriatric Mental Health Educational Series
The Canadian Coalition for Seniors' Mental Health, Baycrest Health Services, and the Canadian Academy of Geriatric Psychiatry are pleased to collaborate to present the National ECHO educational series.
What is Project ECHO?
Project ECHO is an educational program that uses videoconferencing and case-based learning to build skills, knowledge and capacity in primary care providers.
ECHO fosters an “all learn, all teach” approach. Participants are engaged in the bi-directional virtual knowledge network by sharing clinical challenges and learning from experts and peers.

Who can be a Learning Partner?
Any primary care provider who wants to expand their skills and build their capacity in the care of older adults with mental health problems can become a learning partner.
