LCMedia's Award-Winning Public Media Productions

 The Peabody Award-winning “Voices of an Illness” series, narrated by Academy Award-winners Patty Duke, Rod Steiger and Jason Robards, aired on National Public Radio and selected commercial stations across the country.  They were the first programs to feature people living with and recovered from serious mental illnesses telling their own stories in their own words. 

The documentaries featured leading experts in the field who put the stories of recovery into a broader social and medical context including the difficulties in obtaining a correct diagnosis and treatment, the impact of these often misunderstood illnesses on the family, personal and social stigma, cutting-edge research into new medications and treatments, as well as discussions with patients in various phases of the illness, providing a message of hope and recovery.  

NPR stations called the series "unlike any programs of their kind... brilliant... extraordinary”; Time magazine called them “remarkable"; and they were hailed by the National Institute of Mental Health as "truly setting new standards of creativity and scientific accuracy in broadcast journalism."
