Dear Members,
Typically, I think of December as a time to reflect on the past year. But 2020 has been quite a tumultuous ride! We are living and working in a whole new world.
When I do reflect on the year CAMFT has had, I am really pleased. CAMFT has made a number of remarkable steps to weather this stormy year:
These experiences parallel the experiences of most of our members this year, as indicated by our COVID-19 survey that showed that, when the COVID crisis hit, 90% of therapists successfully transitioned to telehealth in less than 15 days. On our website, you can read CAMFT’s article summarizing the personal accounts of over 2,000 mental health providers transitioning to telehealth, Teletherapy: Good Enough Therapy for a Crisis… and Beyond.
I am inspired by the personal and professional fortitude of our members. MFTs are resilient and able to bounce back and support their communities. And that is critical, because mental health support is more important than ever.
As 2020 draws to a close, I hope you are able to reflect on this year and see the positives despite the challenges. This has been a tough year, but the challenges have put a spotlight on the need for mental health support like never before. There is hope for next year, and a newfound respect on a global level for the work that CAMFT members like you do every day.
Wishing you a safe and healthy holiday season.
Regards, Nabil El-Ghoroury, Ph.D., CAE Executive Director nel-ghoroury@camft.org | Twitter: @drnabil
