Echo Hub: Sensory Modulation – Drug, Alcohol and Mental Health

This ECHO Hub aims to deliver mentoring and support for GPs, psychologists and other health professionals working with patients presenting with comorbidity in mental health and drug and alcohol. A key objective of the initiative is to build genuine professional linkages between GPs and professionals working across mental health and drugs and alcohol, to strengthen the provision of integrated and high-quality support for this cohort.

Project ECHO is a free, interactive, online and evidence-based model which places healthcare providers from diverse settings in direct contact with subject matter experts, empowering them to provide best practice care for their local communities. Participation in ECHO involves a commitment to attend regular sessions at a set time, and to discuss de-identified cases with colleagues and with the expert panel.
