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
