2009 Voice Awards Put Mental Health Recovery On Center Stage

The Voice Awards Web site (www.voiceawards.samhsa.gov) has been updated! Check it out for information about the 24 films, television shows, and individuals that were honored at the 2009 Voice Awards event on Wednesday, October 14, at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, CA. There are also photos that capture red-carpet arrivals and award presentations, as well as the after-party celebration that was underwritten by our Program Participants. This year’s event was hosted by Academy Award-winning actor and mental health consumer Richard Dreyfuss, and brought together 500 guests from the entertainment industry and consumer and advocacy communities.

We encourage all of you to stay alert for television or film productions that meet the nominating criteria for award. The link to information about the nomination process and eligibility period for the 2010 Voice Awards can be found on the Web site. We’d like to acknowledge the efforts of all who contribute to SAMHSA’s goal to promote understanding and support for individuals with mental health issues.”
