Championing Those Whose Voices Make a Difference for Behavioral Health

 

Join the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
in recognizing consumer/peer leaders and TV and film

professionals who have given a voice to individuals with behavioral health
problems (mental health and/or addiction issues).

 

This year, SAMHSA is putting special emphasis on the impact of trauma and
the significant effects it can have on individuals, families

and friends, communities, and our Nation. Consideration is being given to
consumer/peer leaders who have successfully advocated

for the rights of trauma survivors and promoted the importance of
trauma-informed care. Additional consideration is also being given

to TV and film productions that accurately and respectfully portray the
experience of trauma, healing, and recovery.

 

The Voice Awards honor consumer/peer leaders who have done exemplary work
promoting the social inclusion of individuals with

behavioral health problems. The awards also recognize TV and film writers
and producers that incorporate dignified, respectful, and

accurate portrayals of individuals with behavioral health problems into
their scripts, programs, and productions.

 

If you know a consumer/peer leader who has led efforts to promote the social
inclusion of individuals with trauma histories and

behavioral health problems; personally demonstrated that recovery is real
and possible; and made a positive impact on his/her

community, workplace, or school, please nominate
<http://www.whatadifference.samhsa.gov/voiceawards/nominate.html>  him/her
for a 2011 Voice Award.

 

Similarly, if you know of an eligible TV or film production that was
released after April 15, 2010, please

nominate <http://www.whatadifference.samhsa.gov/voiceawards/nominate.html>
it for a 2011 Voice Award.

 

ALL NOMINATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2011.

 

Nominations are open to anyone and are free. There is no limit to the number
of nominations an individual can submit.

Self-nominations are welcome.

 

The 2011 Voice Awards ceremony will take place on Wednesday, August 24 at
Paramount Studios in Hollywood, CA. Please consult
