Personality disorder and complex trauma ECHO sessions

Project ECHO is a virtual knowledge sharing model that expands the capacity of any professional. It's about partnerships that bridge gaps to bring change.

Participants learn and share together through live, facilitated discussions. Our inclusive and interactive approach informs every ECHO network and session.

ECHO is an interactive conversational community of practice, linking like-minded learners. The Personality Disorder and Complex Trauma ECHO is a program for healthcare professionals who are keen to improve their capacity to work with people with personality disorder and complex trauma.

The ultimate purpose of these sessions is to establish a community of practice for healthcare professionals who differ in their levels of expertise, and who have a common goal; improve the wellbeing of people with personality disorder and complex trauma.

Each session begins with a presentation from a Spectrum or affiliated expert on a specific topic which is then followed by an in-depth case consultation. There are opportunities for attendees to ask questions and provide recommendations on the case study, which is presented by one of the attendees.

Using a real-time online format, attendees are able to:

• learn new approaches and skills

• participate in in-depth case consultation

• receive feedback and recommendations

• provide expertise to a community of colleagues

• earn CPD points (self-managed)

The Personality disorder and complex trauma ECHO curriculum addresses a variety of topics pertaining to personality disorder and complex trauma. The topics range from understanding the causes and symptoms to topics that assist in treatment and recovery.
