Why attend?

As MFTs, we’re trained to see beyond the individual—to families, communities, and systems. This event puts that training into action.

  • No prior advocacy experience required—just your presence

  • 2 CE hours at no cost

  • Direct engagement with legislators who impact mental health policy in Georgia

  • Connection with fellow MFTs across career stages

  • Alignment with the values that define marriage and family therapy: systems, relationships, and advocacy

Your presence matters

Showing up together puts real faces and relationships behind the policies that affect our work.

  • Legislators see that our profession is engaged and organized

  • We demonstrate that marriage and family therapy is a core part of Georgia’s mental health workforce

  • Our collective presence strengthens current allies and raises awareness among those who don’t yet know our work
