BUILDING BETTER RELATIONSHIPS, ONE BILL AT A TIME:
BACK MFTS WITH FAMILY PAC!
DONATE
SET UP A RECURRING DONATION
VOLUNTEER TO TESTIFY AT THE CAPITOL
Family PAC is the political action committee of TAMFT, providing important
information and advocacy for MFTs in Texas. The support of Family PAC goes to
help us advocate for issues that affect the ability of MFTs in Texas to practice
by protecting our scope of practice, ensuring the growth of MFT services within
the state, and increasing opportunities for MFTs to be paid for their work.
By contributing to Family PAC this giving season, you help protect the future of
our profession and the ability of Texans to benefit from the services that MFTs
provide.
WHERE THE MONEY GOES
We are constantly supporting, advocating, and actively engaging our legislative
committees so that LMFTs are adequately represented at our state level. The PAC
fund is what helps to have this happen. Thanks to your donations, we have:
* Passed legislation codifying the Supreme Court "diagnosis" decision,
established LMFTs as eligible to participate in the mental health student
loan assistance program, and enabled LMFTs to be reimbursed for telehealth
services.
* Created the Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC), securing sufficient
appropriations and employees for running the new entity, while preserving an
independent licensure board to provide dedicated oversight and regulation for
the profession of LMFTs.
* Broadened funding for a Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's (THECB)
mental health tuition reimbursement program, reducing financial barriers for
students, as well as improving the regulation and payment for telemedicine
and telehealth services, including a provider's "choice of platform" and
"audio only" services.
* Extended liability protection for licensed mental health practitioners
working with patients, allowing disclosure of confidential information, when
there is a probability of imminent physical injury by the patient to the
patient or others, or a probability of imminent mental or emotional injury to
the patient.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
In addition to a straight donation, we are offering several ways to help this
Giving Season:
1. Purchase TAMFT Merchandise.
* In doing so, you help protect the future of our profession! All proceeds
go toward Family PAC and marriage and family therapy advocacy in Texas.
Buy a T-shirt (or a mug, or a tote, or a notebook...) today - we have new
inventory commemorating our 50-year celebration! They make the perfect
gift for the MFTs in your life!
GO TO PAC STORE
2. Write to Your Congressperson.
* In the last legislative session, bills that were and are important to
TAMFT didn’t get much traction. While this is aggravating, it highlights
just how important the Family PAC and keeping in touch with your local
congressperson is. Below, you can find a template to help you write to
your local constituent.
