Project ECHO (Extension of Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a virtual knowledge-sharing platform.
It enables health care practitioners and community organizers to support each other, and the people they serve, through webinars, online lectures and case-based learning modules.
ECHO is an “all-learn, all-teach” approach that is interactive and brings people together across distances. ECHO sessions are free and open to all.
The Palliative Institute has partnered with Pallium Canada to deliver the ECHO model as a means for communicating innovations and best practices in palliative care in Alberta.

In palliative and grief care, there is often a component of suffering that we cannot “fix” or “take away”. Instead, as psychosocial-spiritual professionals we are called to companion and support, foster coping, processing, treatment, and sometimes healing. This COP seeks to develop the clinical and self-care skills of professionals providing psychosocial-spiritual care to palliative patients, families and the bereaved in Alberta. Developed with Alberta content, this series is open to social workers, spiritual care providers, creative arts therapists, occupational therapists, Indigenous liaisons, counsellors, psychologists, nurses and other clinicians providing emotional and spiritual support.
Developed with Alberta content, the Psychosocial-Spiritual Alberta Series explores topics relevant to emotional, spiritual, and grief support in palliative care and bereavement as well as self-care for clinicians.
