“…Two descriptive themes were constructed from the analysis process. The first, narrative of adjustment, focuses on the process of settling in the UK and the role of social connectedness (Brown & Paszkiewicz, 2017;Christensen & Manthorpe, 2016;Cieslik, 2011;Condon & McClean, 2017;Farr et al, 2018;Lee-Treweek, 2013;Lulle & King, 2016;O'Brien & Tribe, 2014;Weishaar, 2008Weishaar, , 2010. The second theme concerns employment realities as the majority of studies explored the financial position and employment experiences of EU citizens (Brown & Paszkiewicz, 2017;Christensen & Manthorpe, 2016;Cieslik, 2011;Condon & McClean, 2017;Lee-Treweek, 2013;Lulle & King, 2016;O'Brien & Tribe, 2014;Weishaar, 2008Weishaar, , 2010.…”

“…Five studies discussed the strategies that EU citizens used to improve their adjustment journey (Brown & Paszkiewicz, 2017;Lee-Treweek, 2013;Lulle & King, 2016;O'Brien & Tribe, 2014;Weishaar, 2010). EU citizens could better cope with stress when they could keep their work and life in balance and had time for hobbies and passions (Lee-Treweek, 2013;Lulle & King, 2016). Participants used a range of coping strategies to adjust to life in the UK.…”

“…These factors helped EU citizens to think about their future in the UK in positive terms, and consequently, they were more able to adopt a can-do approach to coping. Some EU citizens who struggled to cope with their adjustment turned to antidepressants and other substances such as alcohol, tobacco or drugs (Lee-Treweek, 2013).

“…A secure financial position for EU migrants was a key component of successful adjustment (Brown & Paszkiewicz, 2017;Christensen & Manthorpe, 2016;Condon & McClean, 2017;Lee-Treweek, 2013;Weishaar, 2008). On arrival to the UK, some newcomers struggled to secure employment, and if they did not have access to social support, managing finances could be challenging (Weishaar, 2008).…”

“…Working conditions can have a profound influence on the mental health and well-being of EU citizens. (Christensen & Manthorpe, 2016;Cieslik, 2011;Lee-Treweek, 2013). Newcomers may face additional multifaceted risks in their workplace because of their status and background.…”

Moving to a new country impacts on migrants’ mental health and wellbeing. There are over 3.6 million European Union citizens living in the United Kingdom. We conducted a systematic review of the qualitative literature to explore what is known about their mental health and wellbeing at the post-migration stage in pre-Brexit period. We searched five databases from 1st January 2009 to 19th February 2019; Web of Science, MEDLINE, CINAHL, SocIndex and Scopus for studies. Ten papers reporting nine studies were included in this review. Two themes were constructed; a narrative of adjustment and of employment realities. The former focuses on the process of settling in and the role of social connectedness. The latter concerns employment realities with included studies exploring the financial position and employment experiences of migrants. Findings indicate that we still know relatively little about the range of post-migration experiences among EU citizens and their implications for mental health
