What is Joint Addiction and Mental Health ECHO® – JAMH ECHO?

JAMH ECHO® is a program for providers who want to improve the mental health and addiction care for their patients. Led and facilitated by Professor Edward Ogden and Associate Professor Ravi Bhat, GV Health Addiction and Mental Health specialists, and supported by the hub team, the program is designed to expand the capacity to care for mental health and addictions in the Goulburn Valley Region and beyond. Any provider in primary care, mental health, drug and alcohol and other services with an interest in the topics presented is welcome to join.

Free, weekly sessions are held via zoom.

Participants learn new approaches and skills, participate in in-depth clinical case consultation, receive feedback and recommendations, provide expertise to a community of colleagues.

What is Project ECHO? Extension of Community Healthcare Organisations (ECHO) is an “all teach, all learn” approach to knowledge sharing in rural and underserved communities, moving knowledge rather than people to achieve better health outcomes.
