Attention |
Art therapists from Northern and Southern California have joined forces to create the California Advocacy Initiative, a campaign for art therapy advocacy in California.
We aim to bolster visibility and formal art therapy advocacy efforts statewide
|
The Goal |
The goal of the California Advocacy Initiative is to increase art therapy advocacy efforts in the state by gathering more than five thousand letters in support for our field. These letters are just a first step to increase visibility and to demonstrate the value and efficacy of art therapy on a statewide level.
|
Why this MATTERS |
We need to advocate for art therapy! It is important to identify supporters of art therapy and art therapy stakeholders across the state.
We want to create transparency for consumers about what art therapy is and how it can be healing. The California Advocacy Initiative for art therapy is expected to expand art therapy access, education, and services provided by professionally trained art therapists. |
What is NEEDED
|
We need a LARGE SCALE gathering of letters to support our California Advocacy Initiative. This includes letters from relevant stakeholders and anyone who has benefited from art therapy, both professional and consumer.
|
YOU can help! |
Anyone who is affiliated with art therapy including consumers of art therapy, art therapists, educational institutions, businesses, healthcare institutions, insurance companies, treatment centers, community agencies, and other providers of art therapy art invited and encouraged to submit a letter of support. We have provided a template for you.
We hope you will feel compelled to share your experience and support this cause. |
