Working with military service persons, veterans and families

These courses address the unique experiences, challenges, and strengths of military service members, veterans, and their families. Designed for social workers, the courses explore topics such as military culture, deployment and reintegration, combat-related stress, post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, moral injury, and the impact of military service on family systems. Learners will gain a deeper understanding of the social, emotional, and psychological factors affecting military-connected individuals across the lifespan.

Through evidence-based instruction and real-world applications, these courses equip social workers with the knowledge and skills needed to provide effective, culturally competent, and trauma-informed care. Emphasis is placed on assessment, engagement, clinical intervention, family support, crisis response, and coordination with military, VA, and community-based resources. Collectively, these courses support social workers in strengthening resilience, improving outcomes, and delivering ethical, informed services to service members, veterans, and their families while meeting continuing education requirements.
