Abstract:
Relocating music therapy practice can be both exciting and nerve wrecking. Do you have what you need to successfully establish your practice? This presentation will help you identify the core elements of beginning your new music therapy journey in the new territory, including advocating the profession accurately and effectively, understanding the potential market and foreseeing possible challenges. Presenters will share personal experience on establishing their own practice throughout the relocating process. Participants are encouraged to share their own experience as well.
