Therapists of Color Mentorship Committee |
The LA-CAMFT Therapists of Color Mentorship Committee exists to to both manage and promote the Therapists of Color Mentorship program. That program helps address inequities experienced by professional mental health therapists of color and intersects with other historically marginalized groups. The first of its kind amongst CAMFT chapters, LA-CAMFT is committed to ensuring quality mentorship for therapists of color by therapists of color. The mentorship program is intended to help bridge the gap by identifying and creating opportunities for growth and advancement in the field, guide clinicians across various stages of professional development, increase accessibility and sustainability in the field, and assist therapists of color to confidently provide services from their culturally authentic self.
