MFTs (Marriage and Family Therapists) are in demand
The use of marriage and family therapists has increased dramatically in recent years. Consumers increasingly seek the services of MFTs:
- Sixty-two percent of managed mental health care providers and 52 percent of employee assistance programs (EAPs) employ MFTs as staff members or contracted providers (Business Insurance. 1993).
- In 1994, the AAMFT Research and Education Foundation received a $300,000 grant from the Prudential Foundation to make grants to several marriage and family therapy training programs to develop on-site training for students at local Head Start centers.
- In 1992, 91 percent of graduates from COAMFTE-accredited programs found jobs shortly after graduation.
