Many things have changed in the past 25 years since I was first enrolled in college and this book allowed me to better understand the culture of the students I work with. For busy clinicians, each individual chapter can be read independently based on their interests. … I would encourage those working with university students to read the book in its entirety as it will be helpful for future unforeseen situations, but readers can also use the book as a helpful reference when particular situations arise.'

With a focus on the UK experience, this book presents a thorough examination of the mental health challenges faced in university communities. Key topics covered include the role of alcohol, social media, and financial pressures, as well as specific challenges presented by ethnicity and gender. The book draws on case studies and media extracts to demonstrate the reality of mental health within universities in the current climate, and includes practice points and suggestions for action to improve policy going forward. This is a much-needed handbook for mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and GPs, social support workers and counsellors, as well as teaching staff, students and parents.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
