I’m excited to tell you we are offering our online monthly membership program, Internal Family Systems Online Circle, for a fourth year beginning this April.
This program has been successful for three years beyond our wildest dreams. We are so honored to have been able to reach people from 28 different countries, and to have made IFS learning accessible to people everywhere.
The IFS Online Circle Program offers exciting IFS content for those interested in the IFS model. The IFS Online Circle is not designed to replace the IFS level one training, which is a requirement for anyone who wants to practice IFS in clinical or professional settings. It is intended to provide up-to-date content to support your IFS journey, whether you are a beginner or are advanced.
The IFS Online Circle will be useful to you for 3 primary reasons:
1. The online teaching format will give those new to the model a good introductory overview of the principles and techniques.
2. The monthly teachings and online community are powerful ways to stay in touch on a regular basis and to be part of the growing worldwide IFS community--and to have your questions answered by me or by lead trainers.
3. You will receive our latest thinking about a variety of important topics in IFS and watch new video illustrations of those.
Each month myself and two outstanding senior IFS trainers, Pamela Krause and Toni Herbine-Blank will present essential aspects of the IFS model. This means that you can continue learning and stay current on the latest evolution of the IFS model from the comfort of your home or office.
I am a strong believer in reviewing and grounding the fundamentals. I will also present at times: live demos, advanced IFS topics, new videos, and other content. In addition, each session will feature opportunities for question and answer, and other dialogue.
This is a year-long membership program designed be a rich 12-month teaching so we are asking you commit to the full year to get the most benefit.
I am very grateful to have you in the IFS community and excited about this opportunity to grow together. I look forward to seeing you as a member of the IFS Online Circle.
In appreciation,
Dr. Richard Schwartz

IFS - An Evidence-Based Therapy System
We are pleased to share with the professional therapy community the exciting news that the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is now posted on NREPP as an evidence-based practice.

Interventions listed in NREPP, now including IFS, have been subject to independent, rigorous scrutiny and are deemed to show significant impact on individual outcomes relating to mental health.
