The author describes her period of training as a mental health assistant and her current work with individual patients, home visiting, child and parent groups, and the homemaking service she is developing at the Temple University Community Mental Health Center. She concludes that although mental health centers cannot solve all of society's problems, they must expand their services to meet the needs of the total community, as well as its patients, if they are to be truly effective in the promotion of mental health.

Purpose To examine the patterns and correlates of 12-month mental health service use among those who do not have a diagnosed mental health disorder during that period in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Methods The Saudi National Mental Health Survey used the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview to ascertain mental health conditions. To understand the reasons for help-seeking among respondents without a diagnosed mental health disorder (n = 1256), the patterns and the association of service use to sociodemographic and clinical factors were assessed.Results Those without a disorder diagnosed comprised 40% of service users accounting for over one-third (35.4%) of mental health service visits. The mean number of visits was higher in those with no indicator of need compared to other categories. General medical provider was the common source of treatment among those without a disorder. Respondents who were ever married were more likely to utilize mental health services, whereas those who reported lower income were less likely to receive treatment.Conclusion Although the majority of 12-month mental health services were provided to people with a diagnosed disorder or other indicators of need, the proportion of treatment utilized by those who did not is high and warrants further investigation.

There is currently an incomplete picture of the long-term impact of homelessness on youth with mental health issues. There are also questions regarding homelessness as a predictor of mental health re-admissions.To examine the mental health service presentation profile of young people affected by homelessness and mental health issues.A retrospective analysis was conducted of the medical records of homeless (n = 29) and non-homeless (n = 32) youth who attended the YouthLink specialist mental health service in 2010. We tracked their pattern of mental health service admissions at five time points during a total period of 10 years, including 2 years prior to, and up to 8 years following the YouthLink presentation. A regression analysis was used to examine factors hypothesized to contribute to mental health re-admissions.Homeless youth had significantly more frequent presentations to inpatient and outpatient mental health services, and emergency departments for mental health reasons. They were 11 times more likely to be re-admitted to a mental health inpatient ward than non-homeless youth. Prior hospital admission was an independent predictor, increasing by a factor of 2.2 for every inpatient admission.The impact of homelessness on mental health issues is enduring, and is a long-term predictor of hospital re-admission.

Background: Involvement of service users in mental health research, whether predicated on rights-based or instrumentalist arguments, is appropriately understood as a purposive social action likely to have both intended and unintended consequences. Despite rhetoric and some evidence that involvement is a good thing and confers benefits on the people involved, the impact on involved individuals remain underexplored.
Aims: To describe the impact of involvement in research on views about mental health services and service use.
Method: A cross-sectional survey of service users involved in mental health research across the UK. Data collected from 166 respondents using an online questionnaire were analysed using the framework approach and narratively synthesised.
Results: Involvement, through enabling ‘behind the scenes’ access shaped views of service users about services and service use. Increased awareness of challenges and shortcomings of service delivery shifted expectations, commonly empowering service users to proactively engage in treatment. However, for some respondents, disillusionment led to discontinuation of services.
Conclusions: Empowerment is a common outcome of involvement but a minority of service users may become critical and drop out of services. People considering involvement in research should be informed about the potential impact on their views and service use and be appropriately supported during involvement. The theory of user involvement needed to support robust examination of process and outcomes must encompass unintended consequences.

Abstract A random sample of college sophomores was studied regarding their mental health status, mental health service use, and attitudes toward mental health professionals. Data were collected through home interviews and a search of the students' service records at the university. Mental health status was measured by the 22-item Midtown Mental Health Scale. Religious affiliation and performance satisfaction were both found to be significantly related to mental health status. Catholics had higher scores on the mental health symptom scale, while protestant scores were lower. This pattern was reversed in service use. Catholics used mental health services proportionately less than protestants, although this difference did not reach an acceptable level of significance. Performance satisfaction was negatively related to need for mental health services. The relationship between need and use of mental health services was significant only when students' self-report of use of counseling services outside the university system was included. Mental health professionals were seen as more caring, but less helpful than health professionals. “Impaired” students rated mental health professionals as significantly less caring for their patients than “well” students. Implications of these results are discussed.
