LGBTQIA+ Opioid Response Network (ORN) ECHO Series: April-September 2023 Cohort
The Fenway Institute National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center in partnership with the Opioid Response Network bring you a Project ECHO series to train facilities on prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery services for opioid use disorders (OUDs) and stimulant use disorders in the LGBTQIA+ community. Each session has been archived below, including any resources or slide decks that have been made available.
What is ECHO?
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an “all teach, all learn” multidisciplinary approach in which participants engage in a virtual community comprised of peers to provide support, guidance and feedback with one goal in mind: improving healthcare outcomes. During these ECHO sessions, participants will have the opportunity to present real-life cases to specialists in their respective field of study as an opportunity to share successes and areas of interest for growth and learning. This environment fosters a sense of community and patient focused care.
