Project SCOPE - Institute on Community Integration

What is Project SCOPE?

Project SCOPE stands for Supporting Children of the OPioid Epidemic.
Our goal is to build a community so we can all share our knowledge on ways to better support children and families affected by the opioid epidemic.
We wish to increase support for not only children who were born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) or Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) but also children affected by growing up homes where opioid use is occurring. We developed this series to build community among MN early childhood providers and interventionists, but we also
welcome people from all disciplines, backgrounds, geographies, including family members.

What is the ECHO Model?

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) uses a hub-and-spoke model to connect rural and remote practitioners with specialists to discuss cases that would otherwise be sent to large — and distant — health systems.
