This week, Rep. Julia Brownley dropped HR 8165, a bill that would put more MFTs into the Department of Veterans Affairs. To learn more, please view the official press release here. We urge YOU to reach out to your elected officials and ask them to co-sponsor this important piece of legislation for both MFTs and our veterans.  The VA Marriage and Family Therapist Equity Act, will reduce barriers for our California MFTs working in the VA system and help with a clearer career path by removing arbitrary and unnecessary COAMFTE accreditation requirements and easing a pathway to supervision within the VA. Please fill out our call to action to the right of this message to ask your elected official to help move this bill through Congress.
