The Center for Innovation in Social Work and Health (CISWH) at BU School of Social Work (BUSSW) received a $2 million gift to support Building the Economic Case for Social Work, a multi-year research project that will evaluate social workers’ health and economic leadership and contributions in interdisciplinary healthcare and public health teams.

“As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of health and social work, it is essential to document the economic contributions of social work within health and public health systems,” [says] Tami Gouveia, CISWH director and Paul Farmer professor of practice. “This funding will help us understand how to create new programs and payment models to ensure access to health and behavioral health for all.”
