Looking for financial support on your path to licensure?

While federal and state opportunities are a bit limited at the moment, that doesn't mean you're out of options!

We've rounded up a few practical tips for finding funding at the local and county level while you wait for larger programs to open.

The U.S. Department of Education has proposed major changes to federal student loans -- including phasing out Grad PLUS loans and redefining who qualifies as a “professional student.”

This new definition could significantly limit borrowing options for current and future Marriage and Family Therapists and other master’s-level health providers.

CAMFT is actively working with national partners to push back against these changes through coordinated advocacy and grassroots action.

Stay tuned for ways you can raise your voice and help protect financial pathways for health care providers, and help ensure timely access to care.

Hey, pre-licensed CAMFT members — we have a big update to share!

The next issue of The Therapist magazine will be the last one arriving in your mailbox. 📬 Starting in 2026, our magazine is going fully digital, and that means a smoother, more useful experience for you!

Going digital gives you:
✨ Live links straight to our Pre-Licensed Corner — so you can quickly find exam updates, licensure steps, BBS news, and all the resources you need in one click.
✨ Easy access to CE opportunities as you plan ahead for licensure.
✨ Direct links to the latest legislative and licensing updates that impact your journey.
✨ A cleaner, more interactive reading experience to help you stay informed without digging through multiple pages.

And the best part?

By reducing costly printing expenses, we can invest more in what pre-licensed members tell us they need most: advocacy, clearer pathways to licensure, more networking events, and more free webinars to support you every step of the way.

October is Substance Use Prevention Month, and early intervention can change everything. 💙

As pre-licensees, you’re learning to notice the small signs: the shifts in behavior, the unspoken worries, the stories between the lines. Every moment of compassion, curiosity, and conversation can make a difference.

Keep leaning in, listening deeply, and helping clients feel seen early on. That’s where prevention truly begins!
