Brief description This study aims to understand how transitions to parenthood, marriage and employment might be affected by the experience of a mental disorder or problems with alcohol or other drugs. It will also look at a question of whether making a good transition (e.g. a satisfying marriage) can help recovery from a mental or substance use disorder.
