Planetary Health & Sustainable Care ECHO
Apr. 7, 2026 - Apr. 6, 2027

The Planetary Health & Sustainable Care ECHO offers a collaborative space for people in the Canadian healthcare sector to discuss, troubleshoot, and celebrate efforts to provide climate resilient and responsible care across settings and specialties.

The Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model is an “all teach, all learn” training framework based on mentoring and peer support. The overarching objective is to share support, guidance, and feedback in service of the dissemination and implementation of good practices. As our collective understanding of the issues and opportunities related to climate change and health deepens, the ECHO format offer members of the healthcare community the support they need to navigate the nuances of sustainability work.

The Planetary Health & Sustainable Care ECHO (program) runs in cycles (~6-10 weeks) that involve weekly 1-hour virtual sessions. Each cycle (~2-4 cycles per year) focuses on a different theme and sub-topics, while each session features a topic of interest related to the cycle theme grounded by experts in the field and brought to life by case studies shared by participants. At this time, we do not repeat themes or topics. The ECHO engages a national cohort, serving a pan-Canadian audience: anyone in the Canadian healthcare community can join and is invited to all future cycles.

Structured Emergency Event Debriefing (SEED)
Apr. 23, 2026 - Apr. 23, 2027

High-acuity events in emergency departments can overwhelm individual providers, eroding team performance and clinician well-being. Further, unaddressed stress leads to emotional exhaustion and burnout. Structured Emergency Event Debriefing (SEED) equips medical faculty as well as other ED team members with an evidence-based framework to debrief after critical incidents with the intention of supporting colleagues while simultaneously strengthening systems. Participants explore three linked, nested approaches—Post-Resuscitation Pause (PRP), Same-Shift Support (SSS), and Post-Event Evaluation and Reflection (PEER)— and will leave with experience guiding brief, psychologically safe conversations that connect emotion and resuscitation process, and transform potentially difficult experiences into ones the improve department performance and provider wellbeing.

This four-hour, highly interactive workshop blends short didactic segments with small-group role-play, guided reflection, and peer feedback. Participants sequentially practise each SEED method, mirroring the clinical progression from “hot” to “cold” debriefing. Faculty model trauma-informed communication and structured listening while participants build confidence facilitating concise, inclusive discussions. The session concludes with planning for local implementation and evaluation, ensuring sustained integration of SEED into departmental routines to enhance morale, retention, and quality of care.
