The Singapore Systemic Family Therapy Conference builds on the strong foundation established by the inaugural Singapore Family Therapy Conference 2024, advancing systemic family therapy practice in Singapore while deepening engagement across the Asia region and beyond. Organized by the Counselling and Care Centre (CCC), this year’s conference reflects a strong commitment to strengthening family and systemic work, supporting the localization of practice, and fostering cross-cultural exchange.
As CCC celebrates its 60th anniversary, this year’s conference also marks a significant milestone in its longstanding contribution to the field of counselling and family therapy. It serves not only as a reflection of past growth, but also as a stepping stone toward greater regional collaboration and impact. In line with the conference theme, we seek to situate systemic practice within our diverse cultural contexts, strengthening connections across communities while expanding the reach and relevance of systemic work in Asia and beyond. The conference features a dynamic range of workshops and presentations by local professionals alongside invited speakers from around the world, creating rich opportunities for learning, dialogue, and cross-regional collaboration.
We invite you to join us in Singapore for this inspiring gathering—connect with peers across Asia and the global community, engage with thought leaders, and be part of shaping the future of systemic family practice!
