Welcome to SKAMFT

As president of the Saskatchewan Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, I would like to welcome you to our webpage. SKAMFT exists to promote marriage and family therapy. MFT approaches situations holistically, viewing problems as symptoms or patterns that are a result of multiple factors. Rather than treating symptoms, MFT’s work with individuals, couples, families or even communities to bring resolve at a deeper level than symptom relief.

As an organization we are here for like-minded people of any helping profession. It is our privilege to strengthen, build confidence, support, and give insight and education to a community of systemic thinkers. We invite you to visit our membership page to join the growing community seeking to serve the public with holistic insight.

VISION STATEMENT:

We see a province where healthy systems strengthen individuals, couples, families, and communities to flourish and thrive.

MISSION STATEMENT:

SKAMFT exists to connect helping professionals in Saskatchewan. Equipping, supporting, and educating those committed to improving the lives of individuals, couples, families and communities using a holistic perspective.
