CAMH’s ECHO Ontario Mental Health is a virtual training and capacity building model that supports healthcare providers in delivering high quality, evidence-based mental health and addictions care in their local communities. Through multipoint videoconferencing, ECHO Ontario Mental Health links expert inter-disciplinary teams with front line care providers in order to share best practices, jointly discuss practical recommendations for complex client care, and build sustainable communities of practice. This is an emerging area of practice, and one that presents a significant opportunity for improving access to Mental Health and Addictions services, both in remote and urban settings.

ECHO Ontario Mental Health is seeking a full-time, permanent Information Specialist who will report to the Manager ECHO Ontario Mental Health at CAMH.

The Information Specialist will support program communication materials, including content updates on the website, outreach flyers, weekly newsletters, and orientation packages. In order to effectively manage and track participants, this role will also involve the development and maintenance of program databases, as well as collecting, analyzing and sharing program data to support the development of ad-hoc reports.
