IT'S ALL RELATIONAL

Now that we’ve sprung forward, we thought we’d jump a little further ahead… all the way to September! WAMFT is excited to invite you to the 2026 Annual Conference at Great Wolf Lodge, where systemic learning meets community, connection, and a splash of fun. Even better: access to the water park is included with your room reservation, so attendees can bring their families along and enjoy everything the lodge has to offer while participating in the conference.

AAMFT Family TEAM is advancing key national policies impacting MFTs — from payment parity and VA promotion equity to telehealth protections, student loan changes, and loan repayment opportunities. As a WAMFT member, you’re connected to this momentum. Review these updates for initiatives shaping reimbursement, leadership pathways, and practice sustainability here in Washington. Read on to see what this means for WA MFTs.

How do race, politics, and media intersect in shaping the world we experience every day? Join this open community conversation for thoughtful dialogue, shared reflection, and meaningful engagement across perspectives in a supportive environment.

WAMFT’s Legislative Committee has kicked off the session with website updates, refreshed 2026 advocacy goals, and planning for our next legislative advocacy event and fundraising efforts. We’ve also joined the Behavioral Health Coalition and engaged in advocacy around HB 2429 to ensure frontline clinicians are represented. Students, LMFTAs, and LMFTs are warmly invited to join us as we build momentum for the year ahead.
