If you are a music therapy professional, student, or intern, consider writing a health-promoting song for AMTA’s COVID-19 Songwriting Contest - entries accepted until October 15th. Check out the latest songs submitted for the AMTA COVID-19 Songwriting Contest.

Ethical decisions are not always simple; it is more important than ever to practice our ethical thinking skills. In this video, 3 members of the AMTA Ethics Board discuss a fictional ethical dilemma asking what to do when a music therapy client and caregiver cannot or choose not to wear a mask during a music therapy session. We use the AMTA Code of Ethics and an ethical decision making model to discuss important considerations and possible solutions in a situation like this one.
