Watch a brief interview with Chris Whittaker, a consumer survivor, on the role that health care collaboration played in his recovery:

Primary health care practitioners are uniquely positioned to undertake health promotion and illness prevention initiatives and to deliver diagnosis, treatment and recovery support. Globally, primary care practitioners may be the sole providers of mental health care. Thus, the World Health Organization and national and international experts are strong proponents for integrating mental health work into primary health care.

Equipping these practitioners with the knowledge and skills to provide holistic and evidence-based care is a worthy goal.
