National Primary Care Mental Health Collaborative - Self Help

Springwood Surgery is taking part in the National Primary Care Mental Health Collaborative, to try and improve mental health care, with a view to disseminating current best practice in areas such as using self-help material. We are looking in to how to best provide self-help information for people with common mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety.

This material uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques that people can learn about in their own homes. Further information may be found on the following web sites:
