Abstract
Hundreds of minors born in the Maghreb come to Spain every year in search of a better future. The reality of these young people after taking the decision to migrate to a country that might fulfil these hopes often entails a descent into exclusion, a trajectory of personal suffering in all areas (social, psychological, physical, spiritual and cultural). This article discusses several relevant topics for describing the elements that constitute risk factors for mental health problems: from the unrecognised risk to life of the journey to our country to contact with a system of protection that will leave many of these boys on the street. Once they are in a situation of homelessness, pre- and post-stressors accumulate in each young person and generate a situation of such stress that there is a high risk of damage to their mental health, with consequences that they may have to live with for the rest of their lives.
