What a Civilian Social Worker Needs to Know
November 6, 2020

Presented by Sharon Young, PhD, LCSW

This workshop will help you better understand military culture and the unique experiences of Post 9/11 veterans. While you may not ever work directly with a person in the military, this webinar offers an understanding of the current military experience and how these experiences impact families and children.
