Extensions for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO®)
ECHO® Connects Independent School Districts With Behavioral Health Specialists
The Campus Alliance for Telehealth Resources (CATR) program offers the Extensions for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO®) service. CATR ECHO® connects independent school districts with behavioral health specialists for real-time, collaborative sessions—improving lives and making contributions to the school-based mental health workforce.
This program highlights the challenges facing counselors, and prompts the referral of students who professionals deem to be “at risk.” Dilemmas are social, emotional, and mental health issues that the students have experienced.
