“I would like to see your average therapist be asked to come to D.C.”
Over the past three meetings, we’ve had at least 3 first-time therapists in Washington. The commitment begins in January with calls to congressional offices and to set up meetings in Washington.

Make no mistake about it. Your colleagues really are interested in what your department has going on! Our goal is to distribute Scope monthly. The committee utilizes several resources including AARC, its affiliate websites and Google alerts.
