Legislative Advocacy Fund 2025 GAMFT Legislative Fund We’re in this together! Support GAMFT’s Legislative Advocacy Fund Today As we move through 2024, our commitment to supporting Marriage and Family Therapists in Georgia is stronger than ever. Our efforts focus on the key areas that matter most to you as LMFTs, ensuring that your work is recognized, valued, and protected across the state. Click here to donate to GAMFT’s advocacy efforts This year, we successfully advocated for the passage of a new bill — Senate Bill (SB) 373. SB 373 helps expedite Georgia licensure for MFTs from other states, enhancing licensure portability and expanding opportunity for MFTs. A huge step in the right direction! We need your help for 2025 The 2025 legislative session will begin in January, and we’re gearing up now. As always, we’re prioritizing the advocacy areas that are most impactful to our profession: Expanding access to care through Medicaid and insurance recognition and parity Strengthening the workforce by improving the path to MFT licensure Protecting our profession by responding to threats Building relationships with lawmakers, other organizations, and mental health advocates This takes time, work, and physical presence at the capital — all of which comes with a cost. That’s why we’re kicking off the 2025 Legislative Advocacy Fund Drive today, and we need your support! How can you help? We ask that you consider donating. Our goal is to raise $5,000 by December 15th, and we are grateful for you to join this effort at whatever level you can. As a suggested donation, we ask that you consider contributing the amount of your standard session rate, whether that’s $25 or $250. Donations over $500 come with the option to advertise your practice across GAMFT platforms! With your donation, you’re showing that you are committed to our vision and support a future where MFTs are a respected voice, anchor of hope, and pillar of resilience for mental health care in Georgia.
