As stated by Ellen Whealton, one of the ways in which individuals can bring about state recognition is by writing letters to their state legislature. Below you can find a template that can be used as a guide in forming a letter to your state legislature.
I love that you included this template in your site! It’ll definitely motivate people to write to state legislators in support of music therapy.
Thank you very much!
We felt that as important as it is to educate the public about the field of music therapy, it is just as important to address the issue of the lack of state recognition of the field. We hoped that by making the template accessible to the general public, people would be more motivated to advocate on behalf of music therapy.
