Networking with MAMFT 

MAMFT is working to provide opportunities for Marriage and Family Therapists to network with one another and with other mental health professionals in local communities who work with couples and families.  If you would like to sponsor an event in your city or town, please contact Nancy Knudsen at nancyknudsen@gmail.com.

Networking events are a great way to make professional connections, spread the word to local colleagues about your specialties, and learn what others are doing. MAMFT gatherings offer a home base to a whole community of professionals who look through the lens of the relationship system. Consider joining in.
