For Behavioral Health SAMHSA accepting
nominations for 2011 “Voice Awards” 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. If you know someone you would like to nominate or for more
