Veterans & Their Families in California Courts: New Frontiers for Policy, Collaborative Courts, and Casework

To Honor All Who Serve & Celebrate Veterans Day

California is home to the largest number of veterans in the US - nearly 1.9 million – with more National Guard, Reservists, and military installations than any other state as well. Our California Court system also sees large numbers of veterans and active duty service members and their families, but social work practice, policy, and planning for some of their unique needs hasn’t always kept up.

On the eve of Veterans Day, join us to learn about innovative programming serving our newest and oldest veterans that is transcending systems and disciplines.
