Join us on June 16th beginning at 9:00 a.m. as we host Part 3 of a 3-Part webinar series on Functional Family Therapy, “Leveraging Technology to Bring Family Voice into Every Treatment Decision” presented by Tom Sexton and Marta Anderson.

This workshop explores how technology can enhance family-centered care by directly including the voices of youth and caregivers in clinical decision-making. Participants will learn how measurement feedback systems integrated into the FFT model enable therapists to collect brief, session-by-session input from families about progress, alliance, and emerging needs. This real-time data helps inform therapist planning, supports collaborative treatment choices, and boosts accountability for outcomes. The session will also feature a local representative from NAFI’s FFT Foster Care program, who will discuss the practical implications of incorporating family voices and data-informed decision-making within community-based foster care services.
