Letter from the President Monday, August 10, 2026 Dear Friends and Colleagues, Can you believe we are already getting ready for another school year? With these warm summer temperatures, it hardly seems possible! I hope you are all staying cool, drinking plenty of water, and making time to enjoy the last few weeks of summer. Before we know it, schedules will fill up again, so I hope you are taking advantage of these longer days to rest, recharge, and spend time with those you love. 📢 Our next Monthly 2 CE Event is on Friday, August 14th, featuring "The 3 C's of Hardiness: Cognitive Processing & First Responders." This hybrid event will be offered both in person in Torrance and online. While the presentation focuses on first responders, I believe many of the concepts are relevant to all of us as clinicians who regularly support individuals through stress, trauma, and adversity. We hope to see you there! 💙 We are also excited to announce our September Monthly 2 CE Event, "Marriage Crisis Management: MFT's Newest Niche," on Friday, September 11th. This will be another hybrid event offered in person and online. Registration will be opening soon, so keep an eye on the website and your inbox for additional details. 👣 Walk & Connect continues on Saturday, September 12th in Redondo Beach. If you have not joined us yet, this is a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow clinicians in a relaxed setting while enjoying some fresh air and great conversation. Then, we'll gather again for another Walk & Connect on Saturday, October 10th. We would love to see some new faces join us! ️🎗️ Our annual Job Fair is coming on Monday, September 14th, and we are actively seeking both Table Hosts and Attendees. If your organization is hiring, this is an excellent opportunity to meet talented pre-licensed and licensed clinicians. If you are looking for your next professional opportunity, bring your résumé and come meet potential employers and supervisors. We hope to make this year's Job Fair our biggest one yet! 🙋 We are also still looking for two wonderful clinicians to join our Leadership Team! We currently have openings for Marketing & Content Director and Clinical/DEI Director. Both roles receive training and ongoing support and require approximately five hours per month. If you have ever considered becoming more involved with the Chapter, we would love to hear from you. Thank you, as always, for your continued support of the Long Beach South Bay Chapter of CAMFT. We look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events over the next few months! Warmly, Chris McKnight, M.A., LMFT President, LBSB Chapter of CAMFT president@lbsbcamft.org
