Resum

It is well-known that university students experiencehigh levels of mental health problems (1). University life presentschanges and challenges that can be stressful and may affect themental health of its community (2,3). More than 20 years ago, theSocial Affairs Service (SAS) of the University of Salamanca started aprogram that ensured the mental health care in their community. The Psychiatric Care Unit is part of this program and its objectives are: 1) to detect serious mental disorders; 2) treat mild mental disorders; 3) give information to prevent illness and promote mental health; 4) serve as support in patients with previous follow-up that has been discontinued due to the beginning of their studies; 5) liaise with referral psychiatrists.
