The Middle Atlantic Division of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) is a group of dynamic professionals working collaboratively to promote and maintain professional standards in the mental health field. Our work is centered on relational and systemic ideas.

The Division supports couple and family therapy professionals in Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, D.C through legislative agendas that strengthen our ability to work with families and communities, and through the presentation of intellectually stimulating conferences that bring new ideas and research interests to area mental health professionals. The Division is also active in educating the public and other professionals on the value of a relational approach to mental health and of maintaining ethical standards of practice. Ultimately, our goal is to advance the interests of individuals, couples and families who actively seek to enhance their lives by developing honest, collaborative, caring and loving relationships with those close to them and within their communities.

Our site offers information on upcoming and recent activities of the Division, on ideas that motivate us, current research, conferences, legislative agenda and other topics that may interest our members and the community. You can also friend us on Facebook. We invite you to collaborate with us by sharing your ideas, by submitting relevant articles to our newsletter, by participating in our Board meetings, and by attending our conferences and other continuing education events. Please also consider attending our lunch and learn workshops, where local researchers and clinicians share their experience and skills.
We hope that our site offers you a good idea of who we are and what we do. We welcome your feedback and would love to know if there is additional information we can provide through the website.
