Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and Center for Mental
Health Services, the Voice Awards honor consumer/peer leaders who have
played a vital role in raising both awareness and understanding of
behavioral health (mental health and/or addiction issues) and promoted
the social
inclusion of individuals with behavioral health problems. The awards also recognize TV and film writers and producers who have
given a voice to individuals with behavioral health problems by
incorporating dignified, respectful, and accurate portrayals of
these individuals into their scripts, programs, and productions.
Talk Therapy TV is one of only 19 national program partners in the Voice Awards._
NATIONAL RECOVERY MONTH
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, National Recovery Month
promotes the societal benefits of treatment for substance use and mental disorders,
celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment providers, and
promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery
Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential
to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can
and do recover.
