What about the community?

Within the College of Education, there is a synergy between teaching, research and service that is embodied in the work of our research centers and clinics.

The Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Department supports:

Behavior Clinic - The Behavior Clinic offers mental health services for children who are experiencing significant behavior and emotional problems. Graduate students receive specialized training and gain supervised clinical experiences working directly with children and their families. The clinic also has an ongoing applied research program that regularly contributes findings to the relatively new field of pediatric mental health.

Culture and Well-Being Lab - The mission of the Culture & Well-Being Research Lab is to conduct ongoing research about multicultural issues in psychology, with a particular focus on understanding individual, family and community strengths that help individuals of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds experience well-being. To this end, the lab provides a setting in which students, faculty and other colleagues can engage in project development, implementation and dissemination of findings about various topics.

Latina/o Well-Being Research Initiative - The Latina/o Well-Being Research Initiative is a collaborative of community members and multidisciplinary scholars at Marquette University who are dedicated to promoting the well-being of Latina/o youth and adults in Milwaukee. Together we work to develop innovative, culturally-relevant research and programming that addresses the psychological, physical, and socioenvironmental factors that influence the lives of Latina/os.
