Welcome to the Society for the Teaching of Marriage and Family Therapy (STMFT) podcast hosted by Dr. Sofia Georgiadou. Dr. Sofia facilitates dialogues between seasoned Marriage and Family Therapy educators and PhD students. The experienced MFT Educator(s) respond to questions PhD students in CFT/MFT have about becoming effective CFT/MFT educators.
Our podcast is open to systemically trained educators of all ranks in the United States, Australia, Canada, Latin America, Africa, and Europe.
The podcast’s goal is to create informal, publicly available, mentorship opportunities and enhance PhD students’ knowledge of pedagogy, culturally responsive learning design, as well as effective teaching of CFT/MFT courses.
The Society for the Teaching of Marriage and Family Therapy was established in 2022.
