Dear Representative Brackett,
My name is____________. I am an MFT in private practice, a faculty member at ________, a registered intern, etc.). If relevant to his district, which is Indian River and parts of Brevard) please add: I live/work in (name the facility and/or location).
Your leadership and sponsorship for our priority bill HB361 Mental Health Professionals is critical to our professional growth and service to Floridians across the state.
As a member of the Health Professions & Programs Subcommittee, we are urging you to have our bill placed on this week’s agenda. We believe, with your guidance, the committee will support the bill, so this proposal can move forward. Help us revise an outdated title, like 25 other states, which does not reflect the education and training Florida practitioners have achieved.
