In the second episode of our fifty-year retrospective, Trevor White sits down with former WAMFT president Julie Woods to talk about widening the door: who the association was built for, and who it needed to make room for next.
Julie describes the creation of the WAMFT scholarship fund and the broader effort to make the association accessible to students, from lowering the practical barriers to participation to building pathways that brought emerging clinicians into the organization early rather than after licensure. She also speaks to the experience of MFTs working in multidisciplinary environments like hospitals, community mental health, and integrated care, and what it takes to hold a systemic, relational lens in settings organized around other models.
More episodes are coming in the weeks ahead, featuring former leaders who guided WAMFT through the transition to independent affiliate status, the challenges of 2020, and much more.
Join us in person to celebrate: WAMFT’s 50th Anniversary Party takes place the evening of September 25th at the Annual Conference at Great Wolf Lodge. Come mark five decades of the association alongside the people who built it.
