The 2023 Resilience ECHO will provide strategies to support the resilience of LTC teams, community, and care providers. The series begins on Wednesday, March 29, 2023.
Several HRSA funded Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEPs) collaborated to develop and deliver training for LTC facilities on Resiliency for staff and residents. Collectively, the GWEPs bring together national expertise in geriatrics and quality improvement.
Join the live 4-session series from 2:00 – 2:30 PM (CT)
- March 29 | Promoting Well-being
- April 26 | Individual Resiliency
- May 24 |Team Resiliency

The consortium uses the ECHO / Zoom format to deliver interactive presentations. All sessions are free and they are archived for new and established LTC staff to access. The program promotes the concept of “All teach, All Learn.” The goal of the program is to improve the knowledge and actions of LTC staff towards better care for older adults.

“Working through the COVID 19 pandemic has been ever so challenging for us healthcare workers and it has taken its toll on many. Resilience is the ability to adapt to difficult situations. When you have resilience, you harness the inner strength that helps you rebound from a setback or a challenge (like the pandemic). While resilience won’t make our problems go away, it can give us the ability to see past them, find enjoyment in life and better handle stress.”

Sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and featuring content created by the hosted by the Great Plains – Mountain Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) Consortium and their academic faculty, this project utilizes the flipped classroom model.
