2014 CHANGING THE NARRATIVE “My voice was given to me, and a loud one at that. So I will use this voice with dignity, pride, and integrity. Receiving this award today validates my recovery that I’m pressing forward triumphantly, dealing with life’s challenges one at a time.” —Toni Jordan, Consumer/Peer Leadership Award winner “Communication is what opens the door for healing and, you know, we’re all storytellers. We’re artists. And I think collectively, as a family, we can all agree that creativity is a great pathway to opening communication.” —Asher Goldstein, producer of “Short Term 12” “It’s a show that, because of the genre we’re in, requires big plot twists and surprises. And in the midst of that, we are also dealing with addiction and recovery and mental health issues. And it is so important to us. We strive with every episode to handle those issues respectfully and authentically and show the real life and the everyday of it.” —Bob Goodman, writer and supervising producer of “Elementary” 10
