For this assignment, you are going to focus on mental health and substance abuse to create a presentation for an agency
within courts, corrections, or law enforcement. You may use a job you currently work at or one that you hope to eventually
work at.
You can use pictures (be sure to cite where they are from underneath them), videos, links, and any other technology
resources that help you make the best presentation. Remember, you need to make them visually appealing. Do not just
have paragraphs on each slide. Rather, work on charts, lists, and other ways to display your information. Think of what you
would want to see if someone was presenting to you!
