Cincinnati Children’s project Echo programs
Anxiety is common in children and adolescents presenting to pediatric primary care settings; however, identification and treatment can be complex. Our Anxiety ECHO provides an efficient and collaborative way to learn and practice. The learning is supported by a psychologist, psychiatrist, and primary care provider peers to enhance knowledge and skills related to in-office interventions and medication management of these complex cases. The goal of ECHO is to improve primary care providers’ comfort with identification and management of the treatment of anxiety in the primary care setting, while also providing a network of resources to ensure patients receive the right care in the right place at the right time.
The 2024 cohort will be weekly for 75 minutes on Monday evenings from 6:30 PM to 7:45 PM
