Testimonials

What a positive difference ECHO Ontario Psychotherapy had on my work supporting clients with complex needs. It was so beneficial to have easy access through video and teleconference to a community of therapists and other allied health professionals in addition to the expert ECHO team of psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. This allowed for rich discussion and practical suggestions to aid in my current work with clients with complex needs.
ECHO Participant
All I can say is thank you and I love ECHO. The clients that we see are very complex and working in rural primary health care it’s hard to obtain specialized psychiatric supports. It makes a huge difference to be able to discuss our complex cases with a group of specialists who provide concrete answers and advice on how to proceed. I’ve learned so much from the lectures, cases that I’ve presented and from cases that others have presented as well. It’s made a significant difference to my practice, my patients and my quality of sleep! Good for mental health all around – I can’t thank you enough.
