Webinar 3: Beyond The Elevator Pitch - Advocacy Strategies That Work (Without Wearing You Out)

Ah, advocacy. Such a weighty word in our field of music therapy.

We know as music therapists that we often will have to educate folks in eldercare settings about our qualifications, what we do and why, and how to define music therapy separately from other ways people do music in various settings.

And yet, it can feel like banging your head on the wall, trying to get your administrator or your patient or your co-worker to understand that you aren't a big-hearted volunteer with an angelic voice.

Advocacy for music therapy in eldercare is both necessary and exhausting. In this webinar, we'll discuss how to do advocacy more effectively and efficiently, so you can get your message across where it's most effective, without wearing yourself out.

Here's what you'll get from this webinar:

2 questions to ask to determine whether an advocacy opportunity is worth your energy
