Recovery from mental illnesses
and substance use disorders is
REAL AND POSSIBLE.
WHAT IF EVERYONE PARTICIPATED
IN MAKING IT HAPPEN?
It demonstrates that people with these conditions can and do lead
meaningful lives and contribute to their communities, and educates
the public on a broad scale by sharing responsible and respectful
portrayals of people with these conditions on screen.
In 2018, the Voice Awards will pay special attention to individuals and
entertainment productions that are raising awareness about serious
mental illness and opioid use disorders.
That is the reason the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration’s (SAMHSA) Voice Awards program exists. Are you ready to join the Voice Awards
and its program partners in these efforts?
It recognizes people in recovery and their family members who are
improving the lives of people with mental illnesses and substance
use disorders in communities across the country, as well as
television and film productions that educate the public about
behavioral health and showcase that recovery is real and possible
through treatment and recovery supports. VISIT THE VOICE AWARDS
