WAMFT 50 w/Former President Scott Edwards

In the first episode of our fifty-year retrospective, Trevor White sits down with former WAMFT president Scott Edwards to talk about the association's early work and the pieces of it that are still standing.Scott walks through the campaign to establish LMFT licensure in Washington State — what the profession looked like before it, what the effort required, and what changed for clinicians once it was in place. He also recounts the origins of two WAMFT traditions he helped launch: Mentor Day, which connects students and emerging clinicians with established practitioners, and the annual Awards Dinner, which has recognized contributions to the field in Washington for decades.More episodes are coming in the weeks ahead, featuring former leaders who guided WAMFT through the transition to independent affiliate status, the challenges of 2020, and much more.Join us in person to celebrate: WAMFT's 50th Anniversary Party takes place the evening of September 25th at the Annual Conference at Great Wolf Lodge. Come mark five decades of the association alongside the people who built it.
