What are the Mental Health Practitoners?

Good Mental health is just as important as good physical health, and maintaining it should be a priority for everyone. One in four people in Northern Ireland will experience problems that affect their mental health. Those with mental health problems often face stigma and discrimination, and fear of these can prevent them from getting help and hinder their recovery. Often a few simple things may be all you need to protect your mental wellbeing. 

It is a new kind of health professional who works with your GP Practice to help improve your mental health & wellbeing.

We can provide you with a helping hand to achieve your health goals and access a wide range of services provided by the NHS, the local council and the community and voluntary sector.
