Summary:

This book addresses a broad range of issues related to mental health in higher education in Australia, with specific reference to student and staff well-being.

Showcasing some of Australia's unique experiences, the authors present a multidisciplinary perspective of mental health supports and services relevant to the higher education landscape.
