Draft mission
statement: The
CAMFT diversity committee seeks to promote awareness
and understanding for the uniqueness of individuals, families
and communities to better inform the practice of marriage and family
therapy and to provide support and information for its members.
The
newest of the CAMFT committees, the
CAMFT diversity committee was started in the
fall of 2002 by St. Joseph student Nelba
Márquez-Greene.
Now boasting over 10
members, the committee was designed with the
following goals in mind:
-
Implementing
strategies to recruit, retain and promote at all levels of the
CAMFT diverse staff and leadership.
-
Ensuring
that CAMFT members at all levels
have access to and receive ongoing diversity education and
training.
-
Developing
participatory and collaborative partnerships with diverse
community agencies, groups and organizations.
-
Implementing
strategies to recruit and retain students from under-represented
groups into MFT programs in CT .
-
Determining ways
to present data/cases that will reflect appropriate level
competencies including but not limited to the proper use and
misuse of data/case presentations as well as links to
informational materials about subject populations.
-
Conducting
a baseline assessment of MFT training programs and CAMFT
membership (How many students/members from underrepresented
populations are there in 2002? How many would we like to see
in 2012?)
-
Collaborating
with universities and colleges in CT in order to promote
the field of MFT at the undergraduate level .
-
Establishing
a scholarship fund .
-
Creating
spaces for dialogue, conversation and sharing on issues concerning
diversity, particularly those topics which are often difficult to
talk about.
