The Brown School’s Mental and Behavioral Health (MBH) Concentration equips students to promote mental and behavioral health through a transdisciplinary lens. MBH students prepare to protect and improve the mental health and well-being of individuals, communities and societies using public health strategies. Although individualized treatment by a licensed clinician remains the standard of care for people with diagnosable mental illness, the core competencies of public health optimally equip professionals for work in population-level mental and behavioral health. Through the Brown School’s Mental and Behavioral Health concentration, you can gain the skills necessary for approaching mental and behavioral health prevention, promotion and research through comprehensive, holistic and culturally sensitive frameworks. In this concentration, you will gain advanced knowledge about the presentation, risk and correlated factors, treatment, and course of major mental and behavioral health disorders. You’ll also learn how individual, family and societal factors impact mental health and well-being and how to apply this knowledge using public health approaches to improve population mental and behavioral health. As a graduate, you’ll be prepared to develop, implement and evaluate population-level intervention and prevention programs and policies and conduct research on mental and behavioral health. Graduates of the concentration may pursue careers focusing on mental health prevention, research and policy within governmental, nonprofit and community health organizations, located in domestic and international settings. Career Paths Students earning an MPH with a Mental and Behavioral Health concentration are well-prepared to work on projects related to mental and behavioral health surveillance, program and policy development and evaluation, and research within domestic and international organizations such as: Government agencies such as NIH, CDC and SAMHSA State and local health departments Domestic and international NGOs and nonprofit organizations Academic centers ​Concentration REQUIREMENTS (15 CREDIT HOURS) Fundamentals of Public Mental Health for Public Health (3 credits) Public Mental Health (3 credits) Transdisciplinary Problem Solving (TPS) Course (3 credits) One elective course Practicum with a mental and behavioral health focus (3 credits) TPS Course Offerings Include: TPS: Global Mental Health TPS: Mental Health Prevention and Promotion MBH-Focused Electives Include: Mental and Behavioral Health Epidemiology Behavioral Health Policies and Services ​PRACTICUM The MPH program requires 360 hours of practicum.

MPH students specializing in Mental and Behavioral Health will have the in-depth understanding of the nature of mental and behavioral health issues and solid foundation in Public Health skills and practices necessary to make a positive impact on population mental and behavioral health.&＃8221;—Alexis Duncan, Specialization Chair Quick Links: Apply About Brown School Contact Us Directions Academic Professional Integrity Policy Native Land Acknowledgement wustl.edu Keep Up with Our Latest News, Research and Insights: Support the Campaign: to Grow. to Lead. to Change. --> Founded in 1925, the George Warren Brown School was named with a generous gift from Betty Bofinger Brown in memory of her late husband.
