I’ve mentioned previously the federal grant I’ve been working on for the past few months. The official press release for the grant has been published. It’s essentially a research project; we’ll be offering Medicaid-type services to a limited number of employed people with mental illness who don’t yet qualify for traditional Medicaid. The idea is to test whether a set of early interventions will prevent these people from becoming completely disabled and ending up on Social Security. I think this project has the potential to yield some interesting results and I’m looking forward to getting it up and running .
The book is now past 100,000 words. I’m hoping that it will cap at 150,000, but that should come down once I start editing. I’m worried I may be chasing too many plot threads, but I’ve lost all perspective.
Congrats on the grant! That’s a fabulous idea.
