TAPPs working in General Practice

Mental Health Promotion & Prevention

Who are your TAPPs?

TAPP stands for Trainee Associate Psychological Practitioner. The TAPPs working in your primary care network (PCN) are Claire Robinson & Georgia Jameson. We are employed by Lancashire and South Cumbria Foundation Trust (LSCFT). We will be working Monday - Thursday, across the local PCN working on mental health promotion and prevention. Our role is to work with people to normalise and de-stigmatise mental health, reduce distress and increase resilience and people's ability to cope with difficulties. 

How we can help?

  • We can offer up to five 1:1 sessions, each lasting around 45 minutes
  • Support the local community by running wellbeing & psychoeducation groups to promote the normalisation of mental health & teach coping skills to improve resiliency in the community
  • Run wellbeing promotion sessions in the community, such as in local schools and with local charities & groups

Who can we help?

  • Those who are registered at a practice within the PCN
  • Patients of all ages
  • Those who have mental health difficulties and/or require specific prevention support e.g. sleep difficulties, experiencing stress, reduced wellbeing and/or experience of anxiety and depression
  • Individuals who may have anxiety related to Covid-19 and adjusting to life after 'lockdown'
  • Those who have physical health conditions that negatively impact on their mental health
  • Those who do not meet the criteria for IAPT services but would benefit from brief intervention

Who can't we help?

  • Those who are not registered within the PCN
  • Those already in treatment for the same issue with another service, e.g. IAPT
  • Those who are experiencing significant drug and alcohol misuse
  • Patients with complex needs
  • Patients who are in need of secondary/tertiary services/prevention work
  • Those with a formal diagnosis of a severe mental health difficulty who are currently struggling

Please get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions:
