President’s Message:

When professionals from family law, mental health, and the judiciary come together with shared purpose, remarkable things happen. Since our founding in 2021, we’ve grown into a thriving, hands-on community devoted to improving outcomes for families and children in conflict. What you’ll find here is more than continuing education—you’ll discover collaboration, connection, and a shared sense of purpose.

Our members are thoughtful, generous, creative, and passionate. Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned professional, you’ll find a place to learn, contribute, and belong. Together, we’re developing innovative programs, expanding access to services, and making meaningful change for the families we serve.

If you’re looking for colleagues who will inspire you, challenge you, and value your contributions, we’d love to welcome you. I can say without hesitation that this chapter has enriched my professional life in ways I never could have imagined—and I hope it will do the same for you.

Warmly,

Todd Wetsel, J.D.
