We hope you will join us this September in Columbus, OH for our annual conference. Our leadership team in partnership with AAMFT aim to provide our community with a high-quality and contextually relevant program pertaining to building and sustaining systemic family therapy research. The program will include plenaries and a combination of panel, workshop, paper, and poster sessions. A note about our theme: We found the definition of persist to be timely, that is to continue to do something in a determined way even when facing difficulties or opposition. We understand that, as a field, each of us is having to pivot, adapt, and show resilience in both sustaining and building research in the current landscape. It is our hope that we can come together as a systemic family therapy research community to support one another, learn from our success and challenges, and create a survival kit to sustain and advance the important, meaningful research we are doing.
