Mental Health America presented a special award, The Bell Award for Significant Contributions to Mental Health Journalism, to Steve Lopez of the Los Angeles Times at a media awards luncheon in Washington, D.C. Lopez, the 2009 conference keynote speaker, is the author of “The Soloist,” which inspired the film of the same name. He won a Mental Health America Media Award in 2006 for a series of columns that first chronicled the life and struggles of Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, the subject of his book.
