On February 26, Cynthia Keller, senior at the University of Louisville’s Kent School of Social Work, presented the culmination of her practicum semester to the staff at St. Vincent de Paul Louisville.
Her Capstone Project was called “Increasing Treatment Engagement Among Homeless Veterans.” When asked about her time here, Cynthia said, “I am specializing in military social work for the MSSW program so the research project is geared towards working with homeless veterans. I have enjoyed overall working with the veterans because I am a veteran. I was active duty for six years and have been an Army Reservist for three years and feel at home giving back to the veteran community helping those in need. During my time spent at St. Vincent de Paul Louisville, it was significant to learn about the individual strengths of homeless veterans and find out what negatively impacts them to problem solve and diminish the barriers.”
