BEAM-SD is dedicated to offering ongoing professional development and continuing education for primary care, school-based, and behavioral health professionals across the state of South Dakota. Education and training will be offered through the ECHO® (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) platform. The ECHO® platform will be used to increase knowledge, competence, and confidence in professionals supporting behavioral and mental health care for children and adolescents and their families. ECHO® includes learning and sharing best practices, mentorship through case-based learning, and professional discussions to support knowledge in practice.
