mourns the death of director, actor and producer Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner. His son Nick, who struggled with addiction, has been arrested in connection with the murders. The NASW Foundation was a major sponsor of the SAMHSA Voice Awards, which honored people, films and TV shows that raised awareness about mental illness and substance use disorders. Past NASW President Suzanne Dworak-Peck was also a regular award presenter. Reiner was an advocate for people grappling with addiction and directed the 2015 film, "Being Charlie," that was co-written by his son and based on the family's efforts to get Nick into recovery. It is bittersweet that Rob Reiner and Nick received a 2016 Voice Award for the film. Here is a photo of NASW Communications Director Greg Wright congratulating him after the award program. Reiner's advocacy will be missed.
