About The BHWell Lab
Mission
The Behavioral Health and Well-Being Lab (BHWell Lab) is committed to developing, implementing and disseminating collaborative research, training and education. We seek to foster equity by advancing behavioral health and promoting well-being among individuals, families, and communities within and around, Baltimore, the State of Maryland, and globally.
We focus on emerging adult and adult behavioral health and well-being, viewed and provided through an equity lens. We strive to provide leadership in the social work profession while partnering with other disciplines and community stakeholders to translate research into practice and inform future research based on practice experience and community input.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
All programs and projects affiliated with the BHWell Lab are grounded in the ideals of our diverse profession. These ideals guide us to conduct and promote equitable, just, diverse, and inclusive research and practice. We strive to be a Lab that supports research-informed practice and practice-informed research that actively challenges and responds to bias and all forms of discrimination and injustice. We seek to equitably improve access to care, dismantle policies and structures that create and exacerbate disparities, and improve systems to share power and reduce systemic injustices. To accomplish this, the Lab embraces practice- and community-engaged and informed research.
Location
The BHWell Lab is located in the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Social Work, but our work expands throughout the state of Maryland, country and globe.
