Focusing on the participants’ mental health problems, this briefing summarises the findings of the Rebuilding Lives study, which examined the experiences and outcomes for formerly homeless people five years after they were resettled. The study revealed that health problems were common among the participants, and the percentage who reported these problems increased slightly after they were resettled. Some participants had mental health problems that were severe and disabling, and affected their ability to manage independent living and move forward with their lives. For some people, mental health problems were triggered or exacerbated when they faced stressful events after being resettled, or when they tried to resolve or come to terms with past traumas and difficulties. One-third of participants with mental health problems identified help or treatment that they needed but were not receiving. (Edited publisher abstract)

This book explores how the needs of students can be best met by student and community mental health services. It examines in practical detail how campus based agencies can work with voluntary agencies, community practitioners and students' families to provide effective support for students with mental health problems. The contexts of students' family relationships, debt, financial difficulty and substance abuse are also discussed.
