Miss Pride of the Commonwealth Announces BIG NEWS for Kentucky Music Therapists
In spring of 2023, Senate Bill 14 will be considered by Kentucky legislators. If passed, SB 14 would create an official licensure branch for KY music therapists, create jobs in the health industry, and protect music therapy clients by ensuring their music therapist works hand in hand with doctors, health professionals, etc.
Dear Senator,
I am writing to ask for your support passing SB 14, AN ACT relating to music therapy and making an appropriation therefor.
This bill will improve the lives of Kentucky’s citizens, create jobs in the health industry, and ensure the best care possible for those needing music therapy services.
Recognizing music therapy as a licensed profession will also protect Kentucky’s citizens and ensure music therapists are working alongside doctors, therapists, and other health professionals in their clients’ lives.
Kentucky is already the bluegrass state. Let’s work together and put Kentucky on the map for a new form of music: its flourishing music therapy programs!
Check out this link for more information about SB 14!
