How To Get Involved with Family TEAM

Family TEAM is made up of Members Just Like You

They don’t have a background in lobbying or politics. They are LMFTs and MFTCs who want to make a difference in shaping Colorado policy and law around their profession. So how do you get involved?

Join the TEAM

Joining is simple. Just follow this link to the AAMFT Family TEAM homepage and click the red “Sign Up” button. Once you’re signed up, you’ll get access to the email list with current updates and discussions of the Family TEAM members.

Get Familiar

Dr. Leslie has provided some great handouts to help Family TEAM members familiarize themselves with the legislative process and reduce any anxieties about getting involved. Read through them below.

Stay Up To Date

Keep an eye on your email for messages from Dr. Leslie about training opportunities, legislative updates, and calls to action such as virtually testifying on bills (which is NOT as complicated or overwhelming as it sounds).

A strong MFT advocacy presence is crucial for protecting the profession. Be a part of it and join the TEAM!
