Community Partnerships

Aligning with social work values, we strive to meet the community’s needs through mutually beneficial collaborations. Through these collaborations, our students grapple with real-world problems, come to understand better the communities in which they live, and impact lives.

Join in our mission to drive social change.

“Through the BHWELL program, we are partnering to address the national shortage of behavioral health providers, especially in rural and small metropolitan areas.”
