President's Message

2022 President

Hi everyone,

I want to acknowledge the very difficult week that many of us and our clients have been experiencing in the wake of the ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade.

We at Marin CAMFT are an organization of therapists in fervent support of the liberation and freedom of all people. This news was deeply distressing. I feel my own grief and rage as someone whose body is not directly impacted. This exists in support of, but nowhere near, the grief and rage and fear of those with bodies this ruling oppresses - our women, our trans men, our girls, our trans boys, our gender-diverse people with uteruses.

I hope those of you who are feeling this way find space to feel, to be in community, and to band together to continue demanding the world we know possible.

Adam

CONSULTATION GROUPS

We had over 30 clinicians sign up to get matched into groups in May! It was exciting to see such a positive response.

Did your group have trouble getting started? If you'd like to see about getting matched into another one, or if you missed the original announcement, please submit your info and we'll try to connect you with a group.

Questions about the consultation groups? Email Rachel Barr, our Director of Marketing, at marincountycamftchapter@gmail.com

SAVE THE DATE!

OCTOBER 9th 4pm-7pm

All Marin CAMFT members are invited to join your colleagues at our in-person Fall Celebration.

We have traditionally held our annual gathering around the holidays, however after two+ years of virtual events, we're mixing things up this year. Come have dinner on us and get a chance to connect with each other, meet our 2022 Board Members to hear about what's happening with your chapter, and enjoy some live music while we welcome in the Fall season together.

The gathering will take place at McGinnis Park Golf Center in San Rafael, in a space where we'll be able to mingle both indoors (with open doors and windows) and outdoors on a patio. All Marin CAMFT members are invited. We are so excited to be hosting this celebration!
