Why study Social Sciences Interdisciplinary BA - Health and Human Services Community Mental Health Concentration at UB?
Health and Human Services (HHS) is one of six major areas in the Social Sciences Interdisciplinary major. It studies the systems delivering human services to individuals and communities in need, the problems affecting those individuals and communities, and the professions and professionals providing services.
The HHS/Community Mental Health major surveys topics in the mental health field and examines the diverse needs of mental health clients. In addition it looks at the personal and social issues which can impact a mental health population such as personality development, addiction, family structures, access to care , diversity and counseling theories.
