Mental Health at Frome Medical Practice

Practice staff supporting mental health:

We have a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who supports patients with mild to moderate anxiety and depression. 

Our Health Connections team can also help you make changes to support your wellbeing or get involved in your local community. Taking care of ourselves and staying connected with others can have a positive impact on our mental wellbeing.

We also have a group programme, Habits for Health, that can help you make changes to support your mental health. 

Finally, all of our clinicians work closely with other professionals, including health visitors, midwives, district nurses, and schools, to make sure your care is joined-up and meets your mental health needs.
