"Local CAMFT chapters do far more than strengthen our clinical skills or advance our careers β€” they nurture connection, community, and a sense of belonging that is so needed in our field. In a profession that can sometimes feel isolated, having a network of colleagues who genuinely understand, support, and care for one another is invaluable."

A little preview of our December newsletter! Ashley Green, Past President of the Redding Regional Chapter, looks back on the projects, gatherings, and simple coffee catch-ups that helped turn colleagues into true friends. β˜•οΈ
