The clinical director at the agency has asked you to locate an intervention and present it to them for approval before you write the grant. Utilizing SAMHSA’s Evidence-Based Practices Resource Center, locate a micro-focused intervention for your chosen population.

Then, create a professional PowerPoint that defends your choice of intervention when you meet with the clinical director. Be sure to include the following:
