SW 140 Social Work Practice with U.S. Service Members, Military Families, & Veterans
This course will introduce students to military life and culture, stressors and sources of support for military service members, veterans, and their families. We will focus in particular on the impacts of recent wars in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom) and Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom) on individuals and families. Topics will include deployment-related separation, combat related stress, trauma, loss, and transitioning from service. We will examine the range of policies and programs to promote the health and well-being of service members, veterans, and their families.
