Robert Haswell, LCSW is a current PhD student at the School of Social Work. Robert earned his MSW from the University of Connecticut and has, for the past ten years, specialized in the provision and supervision of treatment programs for adults experiencing severe substance use and mental health issues. He is currently the Director of Outpatient Services at Wellmore Behavioral Health in Waterbury where he oversees the integration of behavioral health and primary care services.

He is interested in social work’s role in the development, implementation and evaluation of interventions designed to promote the social integration of the formerly incarcerated and other marginalized groups. He plans to utilize his dissertation to explore Connecticut’s decarceration efforts and to assess how concepts of social inclusion and citizenship are perceived by the actors involved in this process.
