Sign up for Give An Hour
NASW is hosting a virtual event, encouraging social workers who are licensed and practicing clinically to go to www.giveanhour.org and sign up. You will commit to donating one hour of your time to provide critical mental health services to U.S. troops and their family members.

Create your own event
You may already have an event you are hosting on this day, or you may want to create your own event. You can go to http://pic2009.org/page/event/create to list your event on the inauguration website so others can sign-up to help out.
