STUDENT SUCCESS:
"The inclusion of social workers in conversations regarding mental health is crucial to raising awareness of complex social problems and encouraging the pursuit of social justice at both the system and policy levels. Social work perspectives are critical to improving health equity because social workers see more than an individual struggling with a mental health condition; they recognize the contextual and societal interconnected threads that led to the condition."
Congratulations to PhD Candidate, Natalia Girlardo-Santiago. Natalia was recently selected for the American Psychological Association's Interdisciplinary Minority Fellowship Program, a newly awarded grant-funded program from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration/SAMHSA.
The purpose of the fellowship is to identify, select, and support the training of ethnic minority graduate students who commit to significantly improving the quality of care provided to ethnic and racial minorities who have mental or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders.
