AND THE RECIPIENTS OF THE 2025 MLG AWARD ARE….
🌟 Honoring a Legacy, Celebrating a Community 🌟
Before we announce the recipients of this year’s Marion Lindblad-Goldberg (MLG) Award, we want to pause and honor what this award truly represents.
Dr. Marion Lindblad-Goldberg’s vision shaped the foundation of Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy (ESFT) and transformed the landscape of Family Based Mental Health Services. Her work reminds us that healing happens in relationships—and that our most powerful tool as clinicians is the ability to see the whole system, join with families in their distress, and lead with compassion, clarity, and integrity.
Each of this year’s nominees embodies that legacy in their own way—through their commitment to growth, their systemic insight, and their unwavering dedication to the families they serve.
This moment isn’t just about who receives the award—it’s about celebrating the collective strength, heart, and brilliance of this entire community.
💙 Please join us in recognizing the incredible nominees for the 2025 MLG Award—you are the living legacy of Marion’s work.
