Article for MIAW, Survey Services

I started writing my article for Mental Illness Awareness Week, but got distracted. This is what I have so far:

There is a lot of talk/discussion about the impact of workplace stress on employee mental health, but that is not my story.

I am not sure when, why and how I developed my mental illness. I recall having issues when I was a full-time student. At first, I didn't know what was wrong. I felt ill.


I went to review contracting opportunities and discovered a request for survey services.
The contractor needs to prepare and administer an employee engagement survey at a major organization.
The organization seems to be expecting proposals from research companies rather than from individuals. Proposals are due in a week. I am reviewing the performance work statement to see what is expected/required. Very interesting.
