This month’s newsletter combines highlights
from both September and October, as we know the fall season tends to get
extra busy with heavier caseloads, family obligations, and the holidays
around the corner. In moments like these, let’s pause and remind
ourselves—with love and care—that our most vulnerable communities are at
greater risk. Together, let’s continue being intentional about offering
support, compassion, and grounding to those we serve, especially during
stressful times.
I hope you find time to rest, reset, and honor these moments of reflection.
Strategic Planning & What’s Ahead
Our strategic planning gathering via Zoom was a
success! We brainstormed exciting new ways to support IE-CAMFT members,
and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next.
Networking Pop-Up Events
We’re introducing in-person “Networking Pop-Up Events”
hosted at member practice locations. Whether you’re in Beaumont,
Hesperia, Palm Desert, or anywhere in between, we’d love to come to you!
These gatherings will bring together local members, new therapists, and
nearby colleagues.
Interested in hosting? Let us know! Send an email iecamft@gmail.com. We’ll take care of drinks, light appetizers—or even coffee and pastries. ☕️
Rebranding Our Chapter – A Fresh Look
Members have now received and loved
our new IE-CAMFT logo! We’ve also received a few questions about the
letterhead and whether it looks professional enough. The answer is—yes,
absolutely!
Our updated design was created with
intentionality and professionalism in mind. The letterhead aligns with
CAMFT’s visual standards while reflecting our chapter’s spirit of growth
and innovation. When appropriate, we can continue to use both the old
and new logos depending on the occasion or document type.
As we evolve, this rebranding represents more than a new look—it’s a reflection of who we are becoming: a modern, inclusive, and community-driven chapter that continues to connect with the new generation of therapists. Together, we’re honoring our roots while building the future of mental health in the Inland Empire.
