⏰ If you were pursuing licensure before May 1, 2024, your grandfathering is coming to an end! You will either need to apply for licensure before January 1, 2027 or be prepared to transition to our current licensing laws found in Utah code 58–60. Also, just because you were grandfathered into the old licensing laws does not mean you’re grandfathered into the old rules. You will likely need CEs on top of the required two hours of su***de prevention. We recommend emailing DOPL to determine how many prorated hours of CEs you need.

🚨 Advocacy Update for MFT Students & Clinicians

A federal court has temporarily blocked a rule that would have significantly reduced federal student loan funding for Marriage & Family Therapy graduate students.

This change could have limited access to training and impacted the future mental health workforce.

Thanks to advocacy efforts led by AAMFT and partner organizations, this ruling protects access to funding for now.

The case is still ONGOING, and updates will continue as developments unfold.

📣 This is a powerful reminder: advocacy matters and it directly shapes our profession.

👉 Follow UAMFT to stay informed on legislative updates impacting MFTs in Utah and beyond.

💬 Share this with students and colleagues who need to know and follow along
