Annual Intensive: Integrated Care and Medical Family Therapy (MFTI)
Our Annual Intensive on Integrated Care and Medical Family Therapy is a one week (Monday—Friday) event of interdisciplinary training that blends clinical presentations, small group learning, and skill development.
Primary Goal: To provide training for professionals interested in health care and mental health collaboration when working with patients and families dealing with illness, health concerns, and trauma.
Participant Outcomes:
- Develop individualized goals at the beginning of the intensive and discuss and assess their attainment during the final group discussion.
- Work in small groups convened by a core faculty whose focus will be the influence of family and personal experience in one’s professional work. The groups will also provide context for case and systems consultation.
Our Annual Intensive takes place every year in June led by Co-Directors: Susan McDaniel, PhD, LMFT, and Tziporah Rosenberg, PhD, LMFT.
