Celebrating Social Work Month!

March is Professional Social Work Month, a big month for social workers and the VA! There are over 8,000 master's prepared social workers serving as licensed independent practitioners in the VA healthcare system. They are an integral and vital part of the Department of Veterans Affairs health care team and serve Veterans in all inpatient and outpatient settings. They support and advance the mission of the Veterans Health Administration by providing high quality psychosocial services to Veterans and their families.
