TxCFR Annual Conference
Each spring, TxCFR hosts a two-day conference in Texas. Attendees have the opportunity to gain knowledge and upgrade skills through a variety of session formats including research presentations, skill-building workshops, roundtable discussions, and panels. Sessions are oriented to cutting-edge research, practice, theory, and ethical decision making. Keynote speakers include leading researchers, policymakers, authors, and practitioners. Ample time is available to meet and network with colleagues who share similar interests.
Professionals at all career levels are encouraged to attend and present. Students are encouraged to participate in an annual competition (subject to guidelines available on the TxCFR website). Continuing Education Credits available as appropriate (CFLE, LPC, LMFT, or MSW).
