Primhe believes that all Primary Care Professionals (PCPs) need essential core skills to deal with people in distress, with, or without, a diagnosis of a mental illness. People with "mental health problems" account for nearly 30% of primary care work

Primhe believes:
· in the fundamental uniqueness of each individual;
· that everyone has the right and ability to achieve wellbeing;
· in enabling and supporting peoples' maximum potential;
· that solutions are found at local level, created by communities and
driven by champions

Empowered Self Care?

I’m new to the area of mental health having arrived here from extensive international experience in advanced personal development and restructuring.
