I hope this message finds you well and taking gentle care of yourselves. My apologies for the delay in getting our August newsletter to you—and thank you for your patience.
Last month, I shared a reminder about the vital importance of self-care—especially as so many marginalized communities continue to face challenges. The need for safe spaces to rest, recharge, and connect is as important as ever. As therapists, we give so much to others; my hope is that you’re also making time to refill your own cup.
Rescheduled Strategic Planning Gathering
Our strategic planning event had to be postponed last month, and I'll share the new date very soon. It will be online, so everyone can easily attend.
This space is open to all IE-CAMFT members—a time to connect, share ideas, and help shape the future of our chapter. We’d be delighted to see you there.
A practical and insightful training on California minor consent laws, confidentiality, and ethically navigating third-party involvement in treatment. You’ll leave with the clarity and tools you need to make informed, legally sound decisions when working with minors.
Learn about the latest changes in the Medi-Cal Behavioral Health system, including CalAIM, BH-Connect, telehealth requirements, and how to prepare for audits with confidence. You’ll also receive valuable resources for complex cases and dual-eligible clients.
Leadership Opportunity – President-Elect
We’re still looking for a warm, dedicated member to step into the role of President-Elect. If you’re passionate about leadership, advocacy, and community-building, this is a wonderful opportunity to make an impact—while being supported by a collaborative, caring team. If your heart is saying “maybe,” let’s talk.
