Mental Health
Mental Health Team
We are delighted to introduce our Primary Care Mental Health team. This is a new service being offered within the Practice. To get an appointment with the team, your GP will refer you if they feel it would be beneficial to you.
Highland Mental Wellbeing
This website is a list of services, information and training around the subject of mental health and wellbeing.
It can be confusing to know where to start with online information, so it aims to help by highlighting some of the best websites and sources of help.
It also provides information about training and resources for community/service volunteers or paid staff, in a ‘helping’ or supporting role.
Emergency Support
If you or someone else is experiencing mental distress and you are worried about your own or someone else's immediate safety:
- Call 999 or go straight to A+E immediately.
- If you are calling for someone else, try to establish the person’s, name, contact details and location
If the crisis is not life-threatening but you are concerned for your own or somebody else’s mental wellbeing:
- Advise them to call NHS 24 on 111 or speak to their GP. The route into formal mental health services is through a GP surgery.
- If someone discloses to you that they are already being supported for their own mental health, it's useful to link them to where they are currently receiving support
