The Social Justice and Accountability Panel received 18 applications for scholarship in our May 2024 application period and we were able to disburse $1,000 after panel review!

We are thrilled to be able to offer these scholarships and we know that this barely touched the total requested funds of $55,000!

If you’re interested in supporting the scholarship fund, please reach out to us at socialjustice@mamft.net.

Our next application period will be in September and we hope to be able to offer scholarships to even more applicants with each round.

MAMFT will have a booth at the 5th Annual Shout Out Loud! Suicide Prevention Fair on Saturday, September 28th in St. Louis Park.

Join us as we discuss the importance of connecting and sharing feelings, as well as the benefits MFTs can have on supporting healthy relationships, and addressing mental health concerns.

Volunteers will play games and handout giveaways to attendees of all ages.

The Minnesota Legislature passed a mental health rate increase for the fiscal year 2025 of around $1M. The amount will increase in FY26-27 to $4M per year. While the details of how the Department of Human Services will apply these $$ to specific services have not been defined yet, the direction will be tied to national reimbursement rates for Medicare. The stated goal is to get MN rates up to 83% of Medicare rates. Stay tuned as more details become available.
