Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)

million.

This one is for SAMHSA.

The one I'm about to show y'all.

Okay.

For those who don't know what an executive summary is, it literally is the journey of your company, what your understanding of the project is, what your goals are, what you plan on delivering to the client.

As you can see here, one of the key factors is benefit, is qualified experience.

You know, so here the client highlights their past performance, you know, and they highlight what we've done on other contracts is similar to what the SAMHSA was asking for.

And you want to highlight that in your executive summary.

If you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988.

And if it's alcohol or drugs, the SAMHSA helpline is free and open all day.

1-800-662-4357.

Both are in the description.

first and foremost, there are certainly online resources, there's ways to access information through various means online.

Those tend to be the places that Although I may have a comprehensive list, there are going to be a few that seemingly are going to work better for certain patients in my clinical setting.

And by the way, and also, too, while we're talking about this, how do we sort of fight? I wouldn't necessarily say fight misinformation, but we're really quick these days to call somebody a communist or a fascist, even though most people have no idea what those terms actually really mean when it comes down to brass tacks.

Yeah, you know, it used to be, I'm sure we've all had family members, parents, teachers say, go look that up, right? Like, I'm not going to tell you the definition of it, go look it up.

And now it's quick to do that.

You can look those things up easily, young people.

Now, I'm not sure they're going to be energized by you saying, go research all this.

But again, you want to do it while they, when they prompt the questions, when the questions come up.

And you can say that, like if somebody, if that were, if any of those concepts come up, say, do you know what a fascist is? Do you know what that definition really is? Well, let's talk about that.

You don't necessarily need to talk about it in connection with whoever was throwing it around.

I ended up in Health and Human Services under Secretary Sebelius during Barack Obama's administration.

And so working there, I served as the umbrella for the FDA, CDC, NIH, SAMHSA, everyone.

And working there, I learned more about the Office on Women's Health and the Office on Indian Affairs, and just health overall.

And I was just like, wow, this health care is a very dynamic field.
