With the development of the economy, the relief agencies for street children are improved a lot, therefore, more and more street children can be rescued, but most of the relief agencies still only take measures to send the street children home but ignore their mental health, which may lead to the repeated vagrancy of street children and increase the potential danger in society. Additionally, the condition of street children’s mental health is closely related to their vagrancy reasons. Hence, based on the relevant literature analysis, this paper combs the mental health status and vagrancy reasons of street children and provides more ideas for their psychological assistance.
