December President's Message
Somehow we are already at the end of 2025 — and what a year it has been. Our mental health field has moved through tremendous changes, and our communities have felt the impact deeply. In moments like these, I think it’s important to pause and remember why we do this work. Our ethical foundations — nonmaleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice — keep us centered in our purpose: to support, uplift, and advocate for the communities we serve, especially those who have been directly targeted over these last several months. And as we close out this year, I hope you also take a moment for yourself — for rest, reflection, and grounding. You deserve it. Holiday Dinner Recap — Community, Laughter & ConnectionOn Friday December 12, our chapter celebrated our holiday dinner with 30 members — and it was pure joy. We laughed, we connected, we built new relationships, and our White Elephant exchange was a whole vibe! ✨ Check out photos from the event here. IE-CAMFT Endorsement: Omar González ValentínWe’re excited to officially endorse Omar González Valentín for CAMFT Clinical Director-At-Large. Omar represents leadership grounded in equity, professionalism, and heart — and we need more voices like his at the state level. CAMFT elections begin March 2026 — please get to know his work and get involved in the voting process!
