Mental & Behavioral Health Treatment for Therapists

Mental and behavioral health concerns are common in children and adolescents with many presenting to therapists in community agencies and schools; however, identification and treatment can be complex and time with families is limited. Our Therapist ECHO series provides an efficient and collaborative way to learn case conceptualization skills, treatment prioritization in complex cases, and evidence-based intervention. The learning is supported by psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists.
