You Belong Here: Exploring Challenges and Resources for MFTs

Friday, May 2, 2025
7:00 am – 8:00 am
(NO CEs)


Session Description:

We warmly invite MFTs from all backgrounds to join us at this year’s annual conference for a community network group meeting, designed to support and uplift MFTs from under-represented communities. This inclusive session offers a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful networking, participate in a facilitated discussion on professional challenges and experiences, and explore resources for support and growth. Whether you identify as a member of a minority group or as an ally, your presence and insights are valued as we work together to strengthen our professional community. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Harness the power of intentional communication: Discover how language can amplify self-advocacy and build bridges across diverse identities and experiences.
  • Weed out exclusionary narratives and behaviors: Learn to identify, interrupt, and hold others accountable for biases in communication and actions that undermine belonging.
  • Cultivate resilience, connection, and accountability: Use language as a tool to break through limiting experiences, nurture empowerment, and grow inclusive environments.
