Project ECHO
Connect with experts across the country to improve your practice.
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a movement to demonopolize knowledge and amplify capacity to provide best practice care. The Wayside Women Services (WWS) Project ECHO focuses on sharing practice and support service information which will enable participating organizations to empower women and families to break the cycle of addiction and trauma.
Wayside is the “hub” for several ECHO learning communities originating in Minnesota and open to all (via Zoom online meetings).

+ WOMEN SERVICES ECHO
The Wayside Women Services ECHO focuses on sharing best practices between providers to empower women in recovering their sobriety, identity, home, family and community.
The series focuses on LADC, LPC, LPCC, RN, LPN, LICSW, LSW, LMFT and MAT providers, along with those who provide support to women with substance use disorder.
Our Women Services ECHO series is approved to offer 1 CE credit by the MN Boards of Social Work, Behavioral Health and Marriage and Family Therapy. It also meets criteria for additional licensed health provider individual study options.
Sessions take place on third Thursday of each month from 12:00 – 1:00 pm CST.
Past topics:
- Advanced Practice: Increasing LGBQT+ Cultural Competencies
- How and Why We Address Family Relationships as Part of Recovery
- Trauma-Informed Supervision
Though often defined as a best practice and standard of care, integrated treatment services for co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns remain inconsistently offered. When they are available, the type and delivery of services across systems of care can vary greatly. Such gaps lead behavioral health leaders and providers to seek methods to understand and implement evidence-based practices in their unique treatment setting. The Dual Diagnosis Capability in Addiction and Mental Health Treatment Indexes (DDCAT and DDCMHT) are valid and reliable tools to guide effective assessment of current programming, provide guidance on implementation efforts and monitor sustainability of integrated mental health and substance use care in substance use and mental health treatment programs.
This two-part session will provide attendees an overview of the Dual Diagnosis Capability Indexes; key elements used to assess a program’s capability and strategies for making changes to increase a program’s co-occurring capability.
