project ECHO series: pediatric depression

Dayton Children’s is proud to present a Project ECHO series addressing pediatric depression. This series will provide information and resources for pediatric providers to:

• Identify screening tools for adolescents at risk of depression and suicidal ideations. Make referrals for adolescents based on risk.
• Enhance knowledge around SSRIS and other advanced treatments including their side effects and interactions
• Improve comprehension of non-medical interventions, specifically cognitive behavioral therapy.
• Integrate this knowledge into processes including providing psychoeducation for families and how to refer to Dayton Children’s/ others when needed.

what is Project ECHO?

Project ECHO is a collaborative, tele-mentoring program designed to bring together subject matter experts and community providers in a cooperative environment. ECHO creates learning communities where subject matter experts share their expertise with community-based providers. This is designed to be a discussion, not a lecture. Project ECHO moves knowledge, not patients.

There will be one Project ECHO session per week on Thursdays from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, starting on April 4, 2024. 

Participants are encouraged to attend all eight sessions but as that you commit to at least six sessions. There is no cost to attend. 

To register for the series or for more information, please email dchecho@childrensdayton.org or call 937-641-5375.
