This is a support group for therapists who are 55+ who are retired, are thinking about retiring, or contemplating a mid-life transition. The mission of this support group is to provide an opportunity for personal and/or professional growth in our later years.

• Explore challenges
• Professional and personal growth 

This group is free of charge for SCV-CAMFT members, and open to non-members, who can attend 2 meetings before joining the chapter.

This group typically meets the first Monday of each month from 5-6 pm. We meet online. Links will be provided when you register. For questions, send an email to mail@scv-camft.org.
