What Are We Looking For in a Workshop?
To best serve our members, we’re looking for workshops that TAMFT members find most useful, engaging, and stimulating. While lectures and handouts will be ideal supplements, we want most workshops to actively engage participants through clinical demonstrations, role plays, clinical skill practice, advanced theoretical applications, group discussions, and other creative and innovative presentation approaches.
TAMFT is currently accepting proposals for the 2024 Conference, with particular emphasis on the following areas of need:
- Innovative Approaches to Trauma Treatment
- Advocacy and Policy Change
- Bilingual Systemic Practice (Spanish-Speaking Preferred)
- Social Justice in MFT
