Systems and Sustainability ECHO

Program Description

The Systems and Sustainability ECHO will focus on large-scale, systems-level opportunities and challenges to implementing and sustaining substance use-related services, be those screening, referral, or treatment practices. Topical areas of focus will include financial models, leadership skills, implementation strategies, workforce development, equitable access to care, integrated care, continuums of care, and other related subjects. This ECHO will target healthcare and behavioral health leaders with the capacity to impact systems changes or influence those who do, as well as those with responsibility to sustain their own systems of care.
