Marriage and Family Therapist Student and Professional Organizations
Student and Professional organizations are resources for students and professionals to network, find supervisors, learn about the job market, find conferences, learn about advocacy, learn about changes in licensing requirements, find the latest research, find continuing education and much more.
Marriage and Family Therapy student associations are most often affiliated with a College or University and can usually be found via the school’s marriage and family therapy website. Professional organizations welcome MFT students to membership in most cases and provide many useful student resources.
