SUBJECT:   Mental Health Awards for Excellence -- May 21

May 2010 is Mental Health Awareness Month. Many people work tirelessly to advocate for the mental health needs of Oregonians. I invite you to nominate one or more of them for a 2010 Mental Health Award for Excellence. Past awards have recognized students, volunteers, educators, professionals, family members and consumers of mental health services. Included with this e-mail is a list of past recipients.

The purpose of these awards is to celebrate the contributions that go beyond the daily work people do to increase resiliency of adults, youth and their families and to support recovery. Real recovery from mental illness requires individual advocacy, community action, understanding and teamwork. Increased resiliency and recovery are possible because of improved science, better community supports, and reduced stigma.  

Please submit your nomination[s] to Julie Earnest, by 5:00 p.m., April 12, 2010. A nomination form is attached. You can use fax, e-mail or mail regular mail.

The Awards Ceremony will be 1:00 - 3:00 p.m., Friday May 21, Room 260, Labor and Industries Building, 350 Winter Street NE, in Salem. 

This is an opportunity to acknowledge the caring and dedication of our state, local and community partners, providers, families and the many clients we serve. Thank you for your participation.
