During its Fall 2022 meeting, AAMFT’s Board of Directors voted to move forward with a strategic portability effort that will identify barriers to license portability and work to mitigate them, with the goal of creating a much easier process for those within the profession.
This effort will take place in several phases, with target states selected for each phase based on: barriers to MFT licensure portability; the number of MFTs potentially impacted; interest of MFTs in working/migrating to the state; client population; legislative body receptiveness; and grassroots and professional services support.
To begin this process, AAMFT has secured a research firm to conduct extensive MFT licensure portability law research and analysis and support the identification of key focus areas for this strategic portability effort.
