70% of transition-aged youth (TAY) or 18-25 year olds in Canada will spend time in post-secondary school. This developmental phase of life carries specific challenges and a high prevalence of psychological distress, mental health and substance disorders. In this presentation we will discuss the key mental health and well-being issues which PSS students face, helpful theoretical models, and approaches to mental health care, including psychotherapeutic approaches which warrant consideration in this population, using case vignettes to illustrate concepts and challenges.
