Hi all!
We hope you join us for our December Member Support Group event!
The SVC-CAMFT Member Support Group is a confidential, judgment-free space created for therapists, by therapists. This monthly support group offers a place for members to connect, share, and receive emotional and professional support in the face of the unique challenges we experience as mental health professionals.

Whether you're navigating burnout, seeking connection, processing difficult client work, or simply looking for a safe place to be heard, this group fosters mutual support, wellness, and community. Open to licensed clinicians, associates, and trainees, we honor the value of showing up not as "the therapist," but as a human being.

When: Friday 12/12 from 5:30pm - 7pm
Where: Virtually via zoom (link provided once you have registered)
Register here: https://svc-camft.org/event-6459840
Open to and free for all Sac Valley Chapter CAMFT members.

Questions, feel free to reach out to Ashley Morgan at ashley@thedavisgroup.org
