The AATA was invited to participate in a panel presentation entitled “The Arts and Well Being Across the Military Continuum” at the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Capitol Forum in San Diego, California. I was honored to represent the AATA in this capacity and to speak on the pressing need for every state to pass licensure for art therapists. We extend a heartfelt thank you to Jay Dick, Senior Director of State and Local Government Affairs at Americans for the Arts for including art therapy in this important presentation.

Our thoughts are with the people of Southern California, who are confronting deadly mudslides from a flood Tuesday in the wake of a devastating wildfire season. We mourn the 17 deaths in Santa Barbara County and hope for swift recoveries for all those injured and that the missing people are accounted for soon. Our hearts go out to the communities who have faced continuous trauma and displacement as they begin the long journey towards recovery.

In their nomination letters, colleagues commend Glassman for her clinical excellence, her ability to connect with youth, her talent to draw the community and whole care team together, and the example she sets for others in the practice of art therapy.
