If you see words in the text (not titles/headers) that are bold and in teal (your browser may change the color), they are hyperlinks that you can click on to bring up other sites.  Whenever possible, we try to make hyperlinks bring up another window, so this site will always be running in the background.

AFF 2003 Conferences

In 2003 AFF will conduct two conferences and one weekend workshop for ex-members (each listing is a hyperlink bringing you to conference or workshop details):

Southern California (June 13-14, 2003)

Ex-Member Workshop in Estes Park, CO (July 11-13, 2003)

Hartford Connecticut (October 17-18, 2003)

Both conferences will take place on Friday and Saturday and be preceded on Thursday by preconference workshops, one for families and one for ex-members.  The Connecticut conference will also include a preconference workshop for mental health professionals, while the California conference will offer continuing education credits for California LMFTs and LCSWs.

AFF conferences are a unique combination of practical programs for families, ex-members, and helping professionals and scholarly programs for researchers and others interested in new developments in the field of cultic studies.

We offer special discounts for early registration, so please go to the conference/workshop pages and register now.

If you have never before attended an AFF conference, the 2002 Conference Report will give you an idea of the breadth and quality of AFF conferences.
