About CACFT/ACTCF
Our Mission
At the heart of every strong family, every repaired relationship, and every healthier community is someone who chose to do the work. We exist to support those people.
CACFT/ACTCF is Canada's professional home for couples and family therapists. Since 1995, we have championed the growth and recognition of systemic therapy across the country, bringing together clinicians, educators, researchers, and students who share a common belief: that healing relationships changes everything. Our members don't just work with individuals: they strengthen the systems that shape how we live, love, and connect at every level of society.
Whether you're a seasoned practitioner, an emerging therapist, a dedicated researcher, or simply someone who believes in the profound power of this work, you belong here. CACFT/ACTCF is more than a professional association: it's a community united by purpose, and committed to advancing the future of couples and family therapy in Canada.

Our Work
RMFTs work with individuals, couples, families, and groups in therapy rooms and community spaces.
