The School of Social Work maintains robust partnerships with the State of Connecticut, linking social work researchers with state agencies, such as DMHAS and DCF.

“These are important collaborations because social work is a research discipline and profession, and it’s also a practice profession,” says Dr. Nina Rovinelli Heller, dean of the School of Social Work, and Zachs Professor of Social Work. “These collaborations help us do research in real time with partners who work with the very people we want to study. This gives us a very strong potential for changing lives, improving complex problems.”
