LACFLA supports and encourages collaboratively-trained members to start their own practice groups in their own geographic areas, when those existing are closed to new members. To that end, we have offered some sample bylaws, mission statements, etc., below, to help you get started. Note: It is not uncommon for some LACFLA members to belong to more than one practice group. For a list of recently-trained collaborative practitioners in your area, please contact LACFLA. People in your area may have been recently trained elsewhere, as well.
The following are sample documents and resources LACFLA members can use to start their practice groups:
Sample Bylaws / Mission Statements
