Briefing Paper on Traveller Mental Health

A new Health Intelligence Briefing on Traveller Mental Health is now available.  This is part of a series of briefings being prepared by Health Intelligence in the Public Health Agency.  Many factors influence mental health and these are explored in this document; taking into consideration that these links can be bi-directional.  Before addressing prevalence, influencing factors, help-seeking, and treatment provision and uptake, a brief summary on Traveller culture is given - which provides the context for understanding the association between influencing factors, mental health and help-seeking.  Download a copy of this paper at: www.mhfi.org/travellermentalhealth.pdf
