The National Association of Social Workers’ (NASW) Social Work Policy Institute (SWPI) in collaboration with supporting partner, the University of Southern California School of Social Work (USC) and the USC Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military Families (CIR), convened a think tank in June 2013, to create an action agenda for improving both policies and practices for veterans and their families at the federal, state, and community levels, and to explore the feasibility of promoting a national veterans policy. The more than 50 participants represented national organizations, government agencies, community service providers, foundations and universities, and had expertise in health, behavioral health and human service delivery systems.
