ECHO® Programs

A model of knowledge sharing among healthcare professionals to improve the delivery of care. This educational initiative reinforces clinical knowledge and skills by sharing evidence-based practices through interaction with peers and analysis of real cases. ECHO participants join a virtual community to learn, advise and share experiences.  

In December 2022, the MSSS appointed the DMHUI as the provincial coordinator for ECHO programs in mental health, addiction and homelessness. Our activities include training on the ECHO model and managing the logistics of launching an ECHO program. 

Eating Disorders

Since 2022, the ECHO-TA sessions bring together experts in eating disorders from various programs across Québec, as well as an expert through experience. The aim is to share knowledge on best clinical practices in the field of eating disorders.
