CACFT/ACTCF Member Awards
2025 Inaugural Year
The CACFT Awards celebrates CACFT members who have contributed to and shown outstanding commitment to CACFT and the couple and family therapy profession. We invite members to nominate colleagues who have demonstrated exceptional contributions and commitment to CACFT and the couple and family therapy profession above and beyond the scope of their employment. The awards will be presented at the annual conference.
Only one award in each category will be given in a calendar year. These awards will only be given if a suitable candidate meets all the criteria for the award. Awards will be held back in years when there are less than three nominations in the category or the nominees do not meet the criteria for the award.
