Expression. Connection. Healing.
The ECHO Initiative—short for Expression, Connection, & Healing Opportunity—is Here Tomorrow’s community-centered approach to expanding recovery beyond one-on-one peer support.
ECHO creates low-pressure, welcoming opportunities for people to express themselves, connect with others, and build skills that support healing—no matter where they are on their recovery journey.
