Practices are eligible for participation payment based on practice staff attending 4 out of 6 Behavioral Health ECHO® Learning Sessions with practice payment due in July 2023. The focus for the February session was on “Navigating Schools to Improve Connections” and a special thank you is extended to our presenters from RIPIN and NRI Pediatrics.
