Welcome to Our Family T.E.A.M.
AAMFT organized the Family Therapy Education and Advocacy Movement (Family TEAM). to be the frontline organization at the national and state levels to advance and defend the profession of Marriage and Family Therapy.
Family TEAM is made up of volunteers from each state who are dedicated to advancing pro-MFT policies at all levels of government and regulation.
Here you can meet Colorado’s TEAM leader, stay up to date on the current issues, and find out how to get more involved.
Welcome to the T.E.A.M.!

Family TEAM is made up of Therapists Just Like You
