About Us
The Safe and Healthy Families (SHF) ECHO brings experts in child physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, child welfare, and ethics together to present on a diversity of topics of interest to those who work with potentially abused children. Topics will be of interest to healthcare providers who care for children (pediatricians, family medicine, child and adolescent psychiatry, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, social workers, mental health providers, child welfare workers and administrators, and lawyers. Learners in these disciplines are invited and encouraged to attend and participate to create a multidisciplinary learning community.
Participants are awarded 1.0 hour of ACCME Category CME credit at no cost for each 1.0 hour of live sessions attended. Full instructions for claiming CME are available in the CME Learner Information Packet.
ECHO Model
The ECHO learning model features case-based learning. Case presentations allow for a collaborative learning environment where everyone has an opportunity to learn, and everyone has an opportunity to teach. If you are having trouble diagnosing a patient, need help determining a treatment plan, or are looking for support, you may consider submitting a case.
