Change the World

I Want to Change the World for Those with Mental Health Issues

I have friends and relatives who would have had better lives if they had accessed mental health services earlier. The U-M School of Social Work sees mental health in terms of social justice principles: access and equity and making sure all people have opportunities, regardless of socioeconomic status.

Why I'm Here

The U-M School of Social Work looks at the whole person. Their innovative work in integrated health was very attractive to me.
