Context, the Magazine for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice in the UK (Vol. 179, February 2022) celebrates the highlights of the 2021 joint conference held with the AFT, the CMM institute and Friends of KCC. The theme of the conference was Making better social worlds for the 21^st century: Legacies and expanding horizons and the presentations offered showed just what the systemic approach developed by the Kensington Consulting Centre and the CMM approach that was deeply embedded in the training could do towards making better social worlds.
