We provide training that recognizes the divine worth of all God's children, and promotes spiritual, intellectual, and character growth in future professionals who will systemically understand and appropriately intervene to improve the health and well-being of people and relationships across the world.

BYU’s MFT program has been a leader in training MFT students for over 50 years, and the BYU training programs have trained over 350 Masters students and over 150 Ph.D. students.
