Abstract
This project was undertaken to determine whether a need exists for a resource and strategy guide to aid California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) social work students and professionals in Sacramento, CA, and surrounding counties in connecting United States military veterans with needed services. Two researchers collaborated on this study. Each researcher is contributing to the design, data collection, analysis and writing of the project. The research design of this study was exploratory with descriptive statistics used to analyze the data. One hundred and twelve CSUS MSW I and II students participated in a survey, which showed that 77.6% of students lacked knowledge of issues veterans face and 84.9% lacked knowledge of the services available to veterans. This knowledge deficit provides justification for the creation of a resource and strategy guide, which has been created from this project.
