Veterinary Social Work
The University of Tennessee Veterinary Social Work is a program dedicated to strengthening and professionalizing veterinary social work as a sub-specialty of social work practice.
Whether you are an animal lover looking for help for a broken heart, a social worker looking for client help, or a social worker exploring a way to integrate animals into your practice, or both, there is something on this site for you.
