We can't have true mental health parity until psychologists offer primary care for mental health the same way that physicians offer primary care for physical health, with prevention, brief interventions,& reducing stigma. Read: https://t.co/ufbOMmc9Fk #ThisIsHealthPsych @APA

Happy #PsychologyWeek! If there is not a psychologist in your organization, you might want to learn more about what psychologists can do for you and your organization.

Primary care for mental health (General Practitioner Psychologists) could improve nationwide mental health and prevent tragedies. #ThisIsHealthPsych https://t.co/U262P515pz

[Adrienne A. Williams @AAWilliamsPhD]

General Practitioner Psychologists and the Primary Mental Health Provider model may help reduce mental health stigma, better address medically unexplained symptoms, and offer care for individuals and families. Thank you @UMassCIPC for this Q&A on primary mental health providers.

[UMass CIPC @UMassCIPC]

A binary view of #mentalhealth reinforces stigma. Dr. Adrienne A. Williams suggests primary mental health provider, “PMHPs would be to mental health care what primary care physicians (PCPs) are to physical health care.” Read the Q&A her idea created https://t.co/jLjUxs6axO
