This month, we’re excited to share another multi-part series where we talk about our partnership with Americares and some of the series that have come from that partnership, specifically those series related to mental and behavioral healthcare. This series, ECHO-Chicago & Americares: Partnering for Mental Healthcare, will focus on the Behavioral Health Integration & Serious Mental Illness for FCCs series. These series were developed with Americares and participants came from Free and Charitable Clinics across the country. This third and final episode includes a conversation with Chelsea Stevens, the Executive Director of Heal the City Free Clinic in Amarillo, TX. Chelsea and her clinic team joined both series. In this episode, Chelsea shares her thoughts on the series and reflects on the impact they made on team collaboration. She also shares some of the incredible changes they have made as a result of joining. The interview is conducted by ECHO-Chicago Transformation Impact Manager Kathryn West, who also coordinated these series.

This month, we’re revisiting our Serious Mental Illness ECHO series since we just wrapped up our 7th cohort and the large grant-funded project that allowed us to run our first 6 cohorts. It’s been an incredibly popular series and a very needed one, given the dearth of mental health care and psychiatry available, especially in safety-net healthcare settings. We’re excited to share more about the impact of this series and the work and care that went in to its design and delivery. In Serious Mental Illness: Looking Back & Looking Ahead, Part 2 we speak with several of the other amazing individuals who made this series so successful: Dr. Barrett Kern, a clinical psychologist and community advisory board liaison for the series; Karen, a member of our advisory board and our caregiver voice representative for the series; and Dr. Michael Quinn, our lead data and evaluation expert for the project!
