Media
The Voice Awards were developed to acknowledge entertainment writers and producers who give a voice to people with mental health problems by incorporating dignified, respectful, and accurate portrayals of people with mental illnesses into film and television productions. The Voice Awards also provide the opportunity to acknowledge the tireless efforts of community leaders who have played a vital role in both raising awareness and understanding of mental health issues and promoting the social inclusion of people with mental health problems.
The Voice Awards are part of the Campaign for Mental Health Recovery, a multi-year public service advertising program of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Ad Council to promote understanding and support for young adults and others with mental illnesses.
