Advancing Military Mental Health

Grounded in the lived experiences of those who serve and protect, the Military Behavioral Health Lab (MBH) advances mental health solutions for active-duty service members, veterans, reserves, and their families.  

We’re training the next generation of social workers through hands-on learning, preparing leaders for careers in the Department of Defense, Veterans Administration, and beyond. Together, we’re building a stronger, more informed community for military members and their families. 

Are you a current or former military member?

The University of Kentucky has a proud history of supporting U.S. military service members. We offer benefits for active-duty personnel, veterans, and their families. At the College of Social Work, we bring specialized expertise in military social work and train the next generation of practitioners. When you earn your terminal social work degree at UK, you’ll do so with the same high academic standards recognized regionally, nationally, and globally.

“At the Military Behavioral Health Lab, our mission is simple: to provide tailored mental health solutions that honor the unique experiences of our military service members and their families.”

Dr. Jay Miller Dean, College of Social Work
