Through ongoing monthly sessions, Project ECHO: Building Primary Care Providers' Capacity to Address Pediatric Emotional and Behavioral Health provides pediatric health professionals with a platform to connect with child and adolescent psychiatrists and other PCPs in their community. The goal of the series is to equip learners with knowledge, skills, practice, and attitudes to better screen, identify, and treat a child themselves or to know when to refer the child to another specialist.
