Dear Colleague,
While we may be an MFT association, this conference is very much for our larger behavioral health community. Social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists, sex therapists, students, and other helping professionals are warmly invited to join us.
Our 2026 WAMFT Annual Conference, Roots for Connection: Deepening Systemic Practice in Changing Times, will take place September 25–26 at Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA.
This year is a special one for the Washington Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, we’re celebrating 50 years of connection, community, and systemic practice in Washington, and we would love for you to celebrate with us!
This year's program brings together incredible voices in our field, including Dr. Diane Gehart, alongside clinicians, educators, and leaders exploring what it means to practice systemically in our changing world. Conference programming includes opportunities to earn:
Law & Ethics CE
Health Equity CE
AASECT CE through designated sex therapy programming
Additional continuing education across clinical and systemic practice
