Home Centers & Labs Military Behavioral Health Lab
The Military Behavioral Health Lab (MBH) is a unique lab focused on generating empirical knowledge and testing clinical interventions to address mental health and wellness issues that affect active-duty, reserve, and veteran military populations and their families. The lab builds on CoSW’s considerable expertise in working with military populations. In addition to research and outreach, MBH educates social work students about career opportunities within the Department of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Administration (VA), while training them to be the best candidates for those jobs.
The University of Kentucky has a long-standing tradition of supporting U.S. military service members. We are proud to offer a variety of benefits to active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. The College of Social Work (CoSW) also has unique expertise working with military members and developing future military social work practitioners. You can be confident you’re earning a terminal social work credential with the high academic standards that UK is known for regionally, nationally, and globally.
