ECHO: Virtual Community of Peers
Opportunity for people providing peer support to learn with and from each other in a structured environment.
Program Overview
Program Purpose
The purpose of this ECHO series is to create the opportunity for people providing peer support to learn with and from each other in a structured environment.
True to the ECHO format’s motto of, “all teach, all learn,” this is a learning space for members to share their expertise, build skills, and learn from others providing peer support.
Each session will have a brief training focused on a specific topic followed by a real-world example of a challenge a member is having in providing peer support. ECHO attendees, alongside a subject matter expert, will then be able to share their thoughts and suggestions to offer ideas on resolving the challenge that’s been presented.
Members will be offered the opportunity to participate as attendees, subject matter experts, trainers, and to present challenges they’re experiencing providing peer support to receive feedback. Through this structure we aim to offer members the chance to build skills and expertise, while also building community..
What is ECHO?
ECHO is a research-based learning framework inspired by the way clinicians learn from medical rounds during their residencies. ECHO participants engage in a virtual community with their peers where they share support, guidance and feedback. As a result, our collective understanding of how to disseminate and implement best practices across diverse disciplines continuously improves and expands.
