Welcome SWK 440 Students

This page is dedicated to resources and information that will be especially useful to those students enrolled in SWK 440: Addictions.  You will find an assortment of quality government and professional resources ranging from Ebooks, journal articles and websites.  The site is still under construction, so check back often for updates and additional great resources to use in your Social Work research.

As always, if you need help navigating the site or assistance with your research, please contact me with your question or to schedule a research appointment.
