a few words from our director

"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."
