Presenter Bio:

Marian Marshall, LCSW, MSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Georgia and a Doctoral Candidate in the Doctor of Social Work program at the University of Kentucky. She earned an Associate of Arts in Psychology from Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, a Bachelor of Social Work from Northern Kentucky University, and a Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky.

Marshall is a combat veteran who served in Iraq during the 2003 invasion. Her military service, coupled with her professional position as a Military Family and Life Counselor, shapes her academic emphasis on the transition of combat veterans to civilian life. In her current position, she provides short-term, non-medical counseling and psychoeducational services to service members and their families across diverse military contexts.

Her research interests center on trauma-informed, evidence-based mental health interventions, identity reconstruction, and the systemic and institutional barriers affecting combat veteran reintegration and long-term well-being. Her doctoral capstone research entails a thorough assessment of trauma-informed and evidence-based treatment methodologies employed with combat veterans during the reintegration phase. Rooted in Ecological Systems Theory and Social Cognitive Theory, her research highlights the integration of treatment with peer support and systemic interventions to enhance sustainable civilian functioning.

Marshall’s academic research seeks to enhance clinical practice, direct program creation, and influence policy dialogues that promote continuity of treatment and equal access to mental health services for veterans.
