In order to be effective when engaging with families in conflict, it is vital for family dynamic practitioners and family law professionals to proactively engage with rapidly changing best practices and keep pace with cutting-edge research. AFCC is a truly international organization. Its original purpose was to provide continuing, specialized education for judicial officers, attorneys, and mental health professionals working with family court issues. Present day, there are over 5,400 members of AFCC in approximately 24 countries.

AFCC members are widely accepted as leading practitioners, teachers, and researchers in their respective fields within the context of family dynamics and family law. The organization continues to be a critical point of intersection for professionals who work with families in conflict, providing opportunities for cross-professional communication and training.
