Summary of Specifications:
The Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeast Michigan (CMHPSM) is the Substance Abuse Coordinating Agency for Lenawee, Livingston and Washtenaw counties. The CMHPSM through the former PIHP the Washtenaw Community Health Organization Purchasing Division, is requesting proposals from bidders for substance abuse prevention programs/initiatives to be provided in Lenawee, Livingston and Washtenaw counties.
Identifying and understanding substance abuse related issues in our region is vital to making recommendations for potential improvements. Thus, bidders must utilize data to guide local decisions and create a comprehensive plan for programming based on the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). The SPF is an outcome-based, data driven, population-level approach to substance abuse prevention planning. SPF includes five steps; assessment, capacity, planning, implementation and evaluation. For more information, please refer to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (www.samhsa.gov).
Substance abuse continues to be associated with various individual, familial, and community issues. The Lenawee/Livingston/Washtenaw Substance Abuse Coordinating Agency understands the importance of targeting needs and strategies to promote healthy communities and individual well-being. Critical to the chances for success in substance abuse prevention is the implementation of evidence based interventions targeted to multiple sectors within a community.
