Welcome to the Jersey Association for Family Therapy (JAFT) home page.
JAFT aims to to encourage and support the practice and training of professionals in family and systemic psychotherapy and related therapeutic approaches.
JAFT organises training in Jersey and online and offers bursaries to support people in undertaking family-based or systemic training.
On 17 April 2026, JAFT was delighted to welcome systemic and family psychotherapist Chiara Santin for a one-day workshop on Working Systemically with Emotions.
Bringing together practitioners from a range of professional backgrounds, the training explored how emotions are shaped within relationship systems and how professionals can work more effectively with the emotional experiences of individuals, couples and families.
Drawing on more than 30 years of experience working with children and families, Chiara offered a thoughtful and engaging exploration of systemic approaches to emotions, combining theory, reflection and practical application. Participants valued the opportunity to learn together, share perspectives and strengthen their systemic practice.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to a warm, reflective and enriching day of learning.
