Eli Lilly Honors PSDS Founder Joan Esnayra, Ph.D.
The Welcome Back Awards
"Eight years ago, Eli Lilly and Company launched The Welcome Back Awards to fight the stigma associated with depression and promote the understanding that depression is treatable. Each year, an independent committee of national mental health leaders selects honorees in the following categories: Lifetime Achievement, Community Service, Destigmatization, Primary Care and Psychiatry. These individuals serve as guiding lights for the depression community people who, through determination and commitment, have made a difference."
