Family Therapy Training Boston is a learning community committed to enhancing the well-being of individuals, families, and groups by providing state of the art training for mental health and other helping professionals.  Spawned by the closure of the Family Institute of Cambridge, an organization that educated people in New England and afar for 35 years, we aspire to meet some of its training goals.  Our work is rooted in the values of social justice; it is comprehensive, immersive, practical, empowering, strength based, rejuvenating, and hopeful.  We are committed to working with all people in ways that demonstrate respect and understanding for the myriad ways there are to live a good life.
