do you know someone who has made great strides in battling depression, or has improved the lives of those struggling with this devastating illness? if so, you can honor that person by nominating him or her to receive a prestigious lilly welcome back award, which includes a donation of up to $15,000 to the not-for-profit organization of his or her choice.

the welcome back awards was established in 1998 to help fight the stigma associated with depression and to spread the word that depression is treatable. each year, the program celebrates advances made in the depression community by recognizing five individuals for outstanding contributions in the areas of lifetime achievement, community service, destigmatization, primary care and psychiatry. for more information on nomination process, please go to www.welcomebackawards.com.
