Congrats to Dave and Gary Johnson who will be receiving a 2006 Voice Award for their episode Mind Games.

Sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Voice Awards recognized film, TV and radio writers and producers who have created positive, accurate and dignified portrayals of people with mental health problems.

Program partners of the Voice Awards include: the American Psychiatric Foundation, the American Psychological Association, the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors and the Mental Health Media Partnership.

The Voice Awards are part of SAMHSA’s Elimination of Barriers Initiative (EBI), a collaborative pilot effort between SAMHSA and eight state mental health authorities in California, Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. The state EBI initiatives work in partnership with mental health consumers, family members, advocates, providers, and a range of national and state mental health organizations.
