Current BCSSW students are invited to join us for an information session to learn more about the Health & Mental Health concentrations.

The Health & Mental Health Concentrations' primary goal is to prepare you for advanced practice in clinical services, advocacy, or management roles in the dynamic field of health care or behavioral health.

You receive specialized knowledge, skills, and training in the areas of assessment, evidence-based interventions, policy, planning, and management techniques. Clinical students focus on developing strong assessment skills and learning evidence-based treatment interventions to work with individuals, couples, families, and groups in healthcare or behavioral health settions. Macro students specialize in developing the policy, planning, and management skills to become effective advocates and leaders at the local, state, or national level.

Our graduates work in a variety of health and behavioral health settings ranging from hospital based to community based, acute care to rehabilitation facilities, forensic services and homeless services, outpatient clinics and substance abuse programs, state agencies, and grass roots organizations. With Massachusetts leading the way in national health care reform, you will be exposed to the rapidly changing organization and delivery of health care.

You will develop strong foundational skills, for either macro or clinical practice, through the integration of the academic and fieldwork experience.
