Call for Submissions: Remembering Who We Are
A group of social workers who gathered last winter at a workshop entitled "Consciously Creating Change" responded in free writing to an opening sentence, "I am a social worker
," and then read their responses aloud. What resulted was the inspiration for a collection of writings by social workers that celebrates the unique power and diversity of our profession, as well as our unique attitudes and ways of working that set us apart and keep us on the path.
Do you have an inspiring or heartwarming story to tell-a story of celebration or inspiration for other social workers that helps us remember who we are, what we do, what we have accomplished?

'THE AVIATOR,' 'ER,' 'MONK' AND 'HUFF' WIN VOICE AWARDS; BROOKE SHIELDS, MAURICE BENARD, AND UNIVISION HONORED
The writers and producers of "The Aviator," "ER," "Monk," and "Scrubs" were recently honored for their positive portrayals of people with mental health problems at the Voice Awards. In addition, actors Brooke Shields and Maurice Benard and Spanish language television network Univision were honored by the federal government for their activities on behalf of mental health awareness, and writer/producer Neal Baer received a special Career Achievement Award at the gala awards ceremony hosted by Mariette Hartley and Kathleen Sullivan.
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. The event was held at the Skirball Cultural Center's Ahmanson Ballroom in Los Angeles, California.
Writers and producers from more than 50 productions were nominated for Voice Awards. From this group, writers and producers of the following productions were named as Voice Award winners: "The Aviator," "ER," "Huff," "Larry King Live," "Monk," "People Say I'm Crazy," "Scrubs," "Stateside," "Strong Medicine," and "There's No Such Thing As Crazy."
Neal Baer, executive producer of "Law & Order: SVU" and former executive producer of "ER," was also presented with a special award for his work in bringing mental health issues into the mainstream. Baer co-created the character of Maggie Lockhart (played by Sally Field), a woman who faces and ultimately recovers from schizophrenia, on NBC's "ER," and as executive producer of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" has created several characters with mental health problems.
Shields recently wrote a book about her experiences with postpartum depression. Emmy Award winner Benard, who has bipolar disorder, is best known for his portrayal of Sonny Corinthos on "General Hospital." Univision devoted extensive coverage to mental health awareness through its "Salud es Vida.¡Entérate!" (Health Is Life. Inform Yourself!) initiative. Sullivan and Hartley, both of whom were diagnosed with bipolar disorder, are outspoken advocates for mental health awareness. Sullivan is also a member of SAMHSA's National Advisory Council.
SAMHSA Administrator Charles G. Curie and SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services Director A. Kathryn Power participated in the event.
"The entertainment industry is a powerful vehicle for helping shape public opinion," said Curie. "Positive portrayals show the nation that people with mental health problems do live, learn, work, and fully participate in the American community."
In addition to the entertainment awards, the Voice Awards recognized mental health advocates across the country for their efforts to expand public understanding that mental health problems exist in every community and affect almost every family in the United States.
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. See http://www.allmentalhealth.samhsa.gov/aboutebi.html for more information about the EBI.

Living in the Labyrinth: A Personal Journey Through the Maze of Alzheimer's, by Diana McGowin (available at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?path=ASIN/0385313187&link_code=as2&camp=1789&tag=newsocialwork-20&creative=9325 )
I recently had the opportunity to watch "Forget Me Never," a 1999 TV movie starring Mia Farrow, which is based on the true story of Diana McGowin, a woman who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's Disease in her mid-40s. I had never heard of the movie before, and after some searching, found that it was based on McGowin's book, "Living in the Labyrinth." In the movie (and the book), McGowin tells the story of her early symptoms, learning of the diagnosis, telling her family, meeting and making friends with others with the diagnosis, and ultimately, starting the first support group for people with early onset Alzheimer's. McGowin's story provides insight for those who are interested in Alzheimer's from a personal or professional point of view.

More Than 30 Advocacy Organizations Join Forces to Promote Political Action By and For Youth
More than 30 leading national advocacy organizations have launched an unprecedented partnership to raise awareness and generate support for children and youth policies through political activism.
Launched in April of this year, the Youth Policy Action Center is a Web-based resource that helps youth and concerned adults be heard in Washington. The Web site allows thousands of youth and adults to regularly contact elected officials about important programs and initiatives, especially in the critical days before votes are cast on the floor of Congress. Advocates contend that this innovative effort is not only an important step, but an increasingly necessary one.
"The Youth Policy Action Center gives young people a platform on which to stand and be counted in the national debate and dialogue," says Thaddeus Ferber, program director at Forum for Youth Investment, which helped orchestrate the joint effort. "It gives national advocacy organizations a way to come together and act as one. And it gives ordinary citizens--concerned parents, proud grandparents, dedicated teachers--political power that used to be the exclusive providence of entrenched special interest lobbyists."
This venture strives to level the political playing field for those who believe young people are the nation's most precious resource. National organizations united behind this effort include America's Promise, the Child Welfare League of America, and Youth Service America. Each group recognizes the immediate benefits that such an endeavor can offer to their individual efforts, as well as to the broader youth field.
"While well-paid lobbyists successfully fight for a variety of special interest groups, children and youth are often left behind in the battles for ideas and dollars," says David Smith, executive director of Mobilizing America's Youth, which also helped launch the effort. "We want to give young people and concerned adults the same opportunity to be informed, engaged, and empowered in advocacy as senior citizens have through the AARP."
Currently, the Youth Policy Action Center offers visitors the opportunity to take action on a range of issues, policies, and legislation, including funding for education, youth employment programs (such as YouthBuild), civic engagement programs (such as Learn and Serve America), and government accountability efforts (such as the Federal Youth Coordination Act).
To see how you, your colleagues, and your clients can use the Youth Policy Action Center in your advocacy efforts, visit: http://www.youthpolicyactioncenter.org

THE SOCIAL WORK GRADUATE SCHOOL APPLICANT'S HANDBOOK
THE SOCIAL WORK GRADUATE SCHOOL APPLICANT'S HANDBOOK, by Jesus Reyes, is now available in its second edition. Published by White Hat Communications, publisher of The New Social Worker, the book offers advice on choosing and applying to MSW programs in the U.S. and Canada. The book is presented in three parts: 1) what to look for in a graduate school, 2) what schools look for in applicants, and 3) resources for applicants. The handbook, written by a former admissions director, provides insight into such issues as writing the application essay, what to do when an applicant's undergraduate academic record is "less than perfect," and more. Especially useful is the "In Their Own Words Section," in which graduate school admissions representatives give "tips for applicants," "common applicant mistakes," and specific information about their schools.
