In the context of changes in the demographics of the student population and social changes over the last 10 years, this report provides an update to an earlier edition published in 2003 under the same title. The report aims to provide practical help to those attempting to improve the care and treatment of mentally troubled and vulnerable students, and to assist higher education institutions and others in establishing policies and procedures for the prevention of mental disorders. It covers the prevalence of mental disorders in student populations, the higher education context, pathways to psychiatric care, the role of counselling and mental health advisory services, what to do if a psychiatric patient is moving to university, mental health issues faced by international students, and medical and other healthcare students with mental disorder. Illustrative examples of initiatives are included in appendices.
