The rough draft letter is attached I started. The two appendices attached are supposed to be used as supporting evidence for the program proposal letter and budget. In other words, the Proposal letter summarizes the more comprehensive needs assessment. Treat the letter like a shorter application and refer back to the longer items as needed when the summary feels too succinct.
Program Proposal (1-2 pages) with Budget
(separate page), and appendices (suicide
planning, and needs assessment for
population served).
Develop and write a one-page proposal letter
and include an attached budget for an art
therapy program addressing the unmet needs
of the identified population from your

Program Proposal
———————-
Consider if you will provide an assessment to
identify who will benefit from your services.
Based on this assessment, describe your art
therapy program indicating which needs your
program addresses and which it does not, and
the reasons why (theoretical and practical).
Your proposal should state how you would go
about implementing the art therapy program,
including a proposed budget (this can be a
second page). The letter needs to be succinct
and creative with writing that substantiates
your proposal.
This one-page letter and Budget should
include three major sections:
1. References from evidence-based art
therapy literature related to the
population and type of service
effective in addressing the unmet
needs of this population.
2. Your assessment of the unmet
mental health needs of this
population in your community and
how an art therapy program would
address them or not (practical and
theoretical)
3. Program implementation including
program structure, personnel, space,
supplies, and Budget. Consider the
pros and cons of multidisciplinary
collaboration when proposing your
program.
The proposal should include:
