The 3rd Annual Daniel Moreno Recovery Award - This year the Moreno Family honored not one, but a group of people who are currently experiencing mental health recovery.  We recognize there are many in our community that have courageously faced their illness and in order to honor as many people as possible, each year up to six people will be singled out for that year’s event. 

According to the President’s New Freedom Commission Report, the word “recovery” refers to the process in which people are able to live, work, learn, and participate fully in their communities.  For some individuals, recovery is the ability to live a fulfilling and productive life despite a disability.  For others, recovery implies the reduction or complete remission of symptoms.  The Recovery Award Event provides positive recognition of a person’s struggle, progress and of the courage needed to overcome often overwhelming adversity and stresses. Publicity surrounding the event has assisted in building awareness about brain disorders and encouraging anti-stigma.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR AWARDEES!
