ECHO K12 Education: Youth Well-being & Upstream Prevention
2nd Fridays, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. MST
The ECHO Upstream Prevention Series is a free, team-based professional development opportunity for Idaho K–12 schools focused on strengthening school-based prevention efforts that directly target areas of need identified through local data. Over the course of eight live, virtual sessions and seven asynchronous learning activities, school teams (4–6 members) will explore topics such as risk and protective factors, data collection and use, community and parent engagement, and sustainable prevention planning.
