Dear MFT Colleague,
For 50 years, WAMFT has been bringing together Marriage and Family Therapists across Washington to learn, connect, advocate, and strengthen the future of systemic practice.
This September, we get to celebrate that history together, and we would love for you to be part of it.
The 2026 WAMFT Annual Conference, Roots for Connection: Deepening Systemic Practice in Changing Times, is happening September 25–26 at Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA.
This year's conference brings together some truly wonderful voices in our field, including Dr. Diane Gehart, alongside clinicians, educators, and leaders exploring the future of relational and systemic practice.
Attendees will also have opportunities to earn continuing education across a range of areas, including:
Law & Ethics CE
Health Equity CE
AASECT CE through designated sex therapy programming
Clinical and systemic practice CE across our conference tracks

JOIN WAMFT + SAVE ON CONFERENCE REGISTRATION
WAMFT members receive 30% off conference registration, making membership especially valuable if you're planning to attend this year's celebration.
But membership is about much more than a conference discount. It means becoming part of a statewide community of MFTs committed to supporting one another, strengthening our profession, and keeping systemic and relational perspectives represented in Washington.
Help Us Tell the Story of 50 Years of WAMFT
SHARE YOUR MEMORY + RECEIVE $50 OFF
We're also creating a 50th Anniversary Memory Project, and we want this to reflect the many people who have shaped our profession and community over the years—including those who may not currently be WAMFT members.
Share a favorite memory, a photograph from an event, a story about a mentor, a meaningful professional connection, or simply a reflection on what the MFT community has meant to you.
When you contribute to the Memory Project, you'll receive an additional $50 off conference registration.
Want to be part of making the conference happen?
We also have a limited number of volunteer opportunities that offer 50% off conference registration for those who would like to get involved while helping us bring this celebration to life.
There may never be a better year to reconnect with your MFT community.
Come learn with us. Come connect with us. Come celebrate where we've been, and help us imagine where systemic practice goes next.
