On September 25, SAMHSA hosted the 2013 Voice Awards program, which honored community leaders in recovery from mental and/or substance use disorders, as well as television and film professionals, for their collective efforts to educate the public about the real experiences of people with behavioral health problems. This year’s Voice Awards hosts were actors Mehcad Brooks (USA Network’s “Necessary Roughness”) and Max Burkholder (NBC’s “Parenthood”). Academy Award nominee David O. Russell, former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy, retired U.S. Army General Peter Chiarelli, as well as community leaders and TV, film, and documentary screenwriters and producers were honored for helping educate the American people that people recover from mental health and/or substance use disorders.
