About The Reintegration Awards
Since 1997, the Reintegration Awards, supported by Eli Lilly and Company, have celebrated the achievements of those in the community who dedicate themselves to improving the lives of individuals with serious mental illnesses, and the achievements of those living with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder who battle tremendous odds to improve their own lives and the lives of their peers. In 2012, the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare is proud to partner with Lilly to offer the Reintegration Awards.
The Reintegration Awards feature nine categories honoring the following:
Treatment teams, programs, and services that support people living with severe mental illness as well as local and national efforts to improve services and decrease the stigma of mental illness.
Achievements of people living with severe mental illness who give hope to others facing similar challenges.
Winners of the 2012 Reintegration Awards in each category receive:
A grant in the amount of $10,000 to be donated to the organization of the recipient’s choice.
A trophy, inscribed with the awardee’s name and category.
Airfare and hotel expenses for the awardee and one guest, plus two complimentary tickets to the awards celebration to be held during the National Council Conference, April 16, 2012 in Chicago, IL.
