SFCAMFT Member Support and Exploratory Groups

The SFCAMFT Diversity Committee

Friday, 3/28 from 12pm-1pm

​

This group is committed to the chapter’s needs regarding education and support as it relates to diversity among clinicians and the people we serve. In 2017, we began hosting online support groups for therapists of Color with focuses in both business development and clinical work.

 

These groups provide a safe space for you to talk about the challenges and joys of doing this work as a person of Color.

​

If you are interested in learning more about these groups, please contact the Diversity Committee chair, Cindy Shu, at cindypshu@gmail.com.
