The Project ECHO Mental Health Network was set up in April 2021 in partnership with Barwon Health to help better manage and support patients with mental health issues.
The program involved a series of teleECHO sessions for primary care clinicians in regions where there is limited access to specialist mental health clinicians and mental health services. It also aimed to build capacity of clinicians to provide greater coordinated support where patients live.
The Mental Health ECHO Network facilitated an expert panel of specialist and consisted of 18 sessions across three series. Topics for each session were developed based on feedback from primary care clinicians across the WVPHN region and included:
- Alcohol and Other Drugs
- ACES and Trauma
- Eating Disorders
- Anxiety and Depression
- Youth Mental Health
- Child Mental Health
- Domestic and Family Violence
- General Mental Health
