AATA NEWS
Currently, the AATA
GAC is working as part of the National Arts in
Healthcare Advisory Council, to
develop healthcare reform legislative recommendations to
submit to Congress to ensure accessible healthcare services
include innovative, cost-effective, art-based interventions,
benefiting individuals from the young child to aging adult.
Our priority is adding language that would include trained
and credentialed providers to the licensure requirements
that are in the Senate bill currently. We also are
attempting to insert language that would specifically include
creative arts therapies as professional providers.
-Also for
resources page the website http://www.grants.gov/ to
research ways to apply for grants in mental health.
