Health Services The direct services concentration in Health is designed for students who have an interest in health care services and the psychosocial impact of illness and disability. Students become familiar with social work interventions with individuals, families, and communities in a variety of health promotion and health care settings including prevention programs, public health and community health agencies, hospitals and clinics, and non-profit and for-profit health agencies. Students are educated to understand the needs of broad target populations and are taught to apply methods such as assessment, counseling, group work, and case work.
