Primary Mental Health Care and Services - Wales

Our aim is to promote primary mental health care and improve mental health services across Wales.

We want to do this by bringing people with a real interest in primary health care mental health together - including mental health practitioners, professionals, agencies, organisations, carers, service users and their friends and family.

An example of this is our new Part 1 - Downloadable Resource which we have created to help GPs and their teams understand how the recently launched Part 1 of the Mental Health Measure is going to change and improve mental health services across Wales.

We want to develop new ways of thinking about and working with mental health problems in primary care settings by discussing mental health issues through our calendar of Conferences and our Practitioner's Network.

If you're interested in mental health problems please visit our Gold Standard and Declaration pages where you can support this latter initiative by filling in our Sign Up To The Declaration online form.
