Thanks to the Des Moines Register for its wonderful profile of Brad Whipple, director of the Iowa Homeless Youth Centers.  Brad is also a National Association of Social Workers member.

The article not only talked about how the center helps homeless youth transition to adulthood, but also educated the public on the life-affirming work social workers do each day.

For more information on how social workers help young people visit the NASW’s Children and Families section and “Help Starts Here” section on Kids and Families.
