The recent decision to restore billions in federal #MentalHealth and substance use grants was the right thing to do, and it was a life-saving measure.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10-34. Yet more than $1.9 billion in Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grants were initially terminated across 2,800+ programs — including suicide prevention, youth mental health, and community recovery services. Within hours, organizations were preparing for layoffs and closures. 

While the reversal was welcome news, the brief cancellation of essential funding exposed just how fragile our nation’s mental health infrastructure truly is, and how quickly lives can be put at risk. Communities across the country depend on these investments to keep counseling centers open, retain clinicians, and provide vital prevention and recovery services. Restoring this funding prevented immediate disruption for thousands of providers and millions of people, including youth, who rely on them.

At The Jed Foundation (JED), we know that prevention, early intervention, and strong community-based systems work. Now we must ensure stronger guardrails to protect the urgent mental health needs of all Americans.

Associate Facilities Administrator

Powersoft

Mail Services Coordinator

I am a Facilities Management professional with eighteen years of experience in the field.  There are few areas of this occupation that I've not had experience in:

--Project management (recently building out a 12,000 sq. foot office space, furnishing it, and peopling it)
--Vendor relations (saving a company $12,000 a year by simply changing vendors and introducing single-stream recycling to my site)
--Emergency response (during a city-wide blackout, I restored the back-up systems for my company's two mission-critical computer rooms, each one located in a different building)
--Capital expense projects (overseeing the replacement of a rooftop HVAC unit)
--Technology (am conversant with CAFMs including Centerstone and Aperture)
--Animal rescue (found my last cat in a dumpster at work; took her to my car where she promptly broke into my leftover dinner and demolished half a steak; she had the courtesy to save the french fries for me)

The physical workplace is one of the largest expenditures a company has in its budget and I always work with an eye for maximum value for cost...not necessarily looking for the cheapest solution, but the most cost-effective one.  

I build relationships (with vendors, stakeholders, and coworkers).
I get the job done (walking the fine line of cost, deadlines, and customer service).
I pride myself on my customer service skills...listening to my customers, working with them, and delivering solutions.

 I even do windows.
