An Online Conference about IFS

The IFS Canadian Community Conference is a two-day online gathering for professionals, practitioners, students, and community leaders who use Internal Family Systems in their work or want to explore how IFS may support their professional practice. While the conference is rooted in the Canadian IFS community, it warmly welcomes participants from around the world and is designed to foster learning, connection, and dialogue across helping professions and related fields.
