Steps to get this job

1In your resume summary, mirror their exact program names: ACT, Community Stabilization, Mental Health Skill Building, so an ATS and a human reviewer see the match instantly
2Lead your resume bullet with a specific audit or compliance review you passed or prepared for, since they call out 'audit readiness' and 'state behavioral health compliance reviews' by name
3List your VA license type and number status up front (active LPC/LCSW/LMFT), since that's their first listed requirement
4Prepare one concrete example of coordinating care with a hospital or crisis service for the interview, since that's called out twice in the posting
