"Today's aging population is facing challenges and issues never imagined by their parents. To help them navigate their choices and options, social workers can provide information and guidance . And SWLI is doing its part to respond to changing demographics by proactively supporting and educating highly-qualified social workers who are able to meet this urgent need."

"I became interested in social welfare and aging because I wanted to work with the community in ways that promote social justice and human rights. Since all people are constantly aging and the population of older adults is increasingly growing, their needs transcend all issues of justice, health, and welfare."
