This project was funded under the Higher Education Funding Council for England's Special Initiative to Encourage High Quality Provision for Students with Learning Difficulties and Disabilities.  This initiative offered higher education institutions (HEIs) support in developing their disability services to meet the demands of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 at a time when the numbers and diversity of the student population were increasing.  Throughout the nineties, student counselling services regularly identified concerns about increasing levels of severe mental health problems in the student population, and, as academics, the project team were familiar with the high levels of anxiety generated by individual cases.
