Project SCOPE Reach

3 Year National Training Preliminary Results

During the 2019-2022 National Training Initiative for Project SCOPE (Supporting Children of the OPioid Epidemic) 14 states were trained in the ECHO Model and SCOPE curriculum. Across the 14 states, over 270 sessions and 350 hours of education and training were provided, reaching over 10,400 participants.

This initiative intended to improve outcomes by linking research to practical application in local communities, provide opportunities to share knowledge and findings with national networks and federal agencies, and provide recommendations for future interventions.

Each of the UCEDD/LEND sites were trained in the developed curriculum and use of the ECHO model. These sites took the information and implemented the training in their own communities led by interdisciplinary leadership teams. These leadership teams included special educators, early interventionists, social workers, physicians, psychologists,nurses, administrators, foster parents, addicti on specialists, and recovering mothers.
