History: The Training & Education Division began as The International Consortium of Family Therapy Training Programs, a freestanding organization that met each year at IFTA Congresses starting in 1997. The mission of the Consortium was to promote family therapy training worldwide. When IFTA made the decision to develop divisions, the Consortium approached the IFTA Board to become IFTA’s Training & Education Division. It was formally granted that status in 2000 and became IFTA’s first Division.
