Project 2014.

Launched in May 2011, E.C.H.O. is a series of practical and professional training workshops which aim to empower community organizations to develop culturally and linguistically sensitive health programming. Our most recent workshop was attended by approximately 120 individuals representing about 60 non-profit, civic, academic, community-based, and faith-based organizations.

The workshop will take place at the Silver Spring Civic Building, Great Hall at One Veterans Place, Silver Spring, MD 20910.

This free workshop will provide an overview of mental health, its disparities, and support services in Montgomery County. Participants will have the opportunity to share their communities' experiences with accessing mental health services.
