Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Do I have to be a therapist to be a member?

Our organization is a vibrant mix of therapists, educators, mental health providers, healing professionals, policy leaders and other people who are passionate about the field.

Do I need to be a member to attend an event?

No. As an inclusive organization, we welcome anyone to attend. Membership provides discounted tickets to events, among other perks.

Are your events accessible to people with disabilities or sensitivities?

Accessibility is a core value for Austin in Connection. All of our events are held in wheelchair-accessible locations. If you need a sign language interpreter, a scent-free space or have any other accessibility needs, please email us at info@austininconnection.org.

We appreciate you taking care of yourselves by asking for what you need. You are welcome here.

Is this a safe, affirming organization for people of various identities and backgrounds?

People of all identities are welcome here. We actively commit to creating affirming spaces where people with marginalized identities can thrive. We consider diversity in race, gender, sexuality, neurotype, ability, language, country of origin, religion and other aspects of life to be a strength. We honor the wisdom of lived experience.

Do your in-person events also have virtual accessibility or livestreams?

Some of our larger trainings and events are also available online. However, in-person community and face-to-face connections are vital to us, and we love sharing energy and ideas in a room together. If an event has a virtual component, it will be specified clearly on the event page with a link to join.

How much does it cost to become a member of Austin in Connection?

Professional Membership costs $65 and Student Membership costs $30 per year. Learn about their benefits on our Membership page.

Do you offer scholarships for training / events?
