Margot Kidder Award 

History will occur in Los Angeles on Sept. 20, 2001.  We want you to be there.
 
In 1996 actress Margot Kidder of Superman fame made world headlines when the media placed a spotlight on her very public episode of ill health in Los Angeles.
 
Rejecting offers of more medications for her problems, Ms. Kidder researched the causes behind her troubles and found she had hidden nutritional imbalances that no doctor had ever looked for.  After treating these nutritional issues, she started on her road to wellness.
 
Margot KidderToday Ms. Kidder has not only recovered without drugs and restored her career, but she has become the nation's most vocal advocate for alternative mental health treatments as well as the international spokesperson for Safe Harbor.
 
On September 20, 2001, Margot Kidder, the Woman of Steel, makes a triumphant -- and healthy -- return to Los Angeles at the Hollywood Room of the Westin Bonaventure Hotel at 404 So. Figueroa.
 
That evening, in recognition of her remarkable work, Safe Harbor will establish the Annual Margot Kidder Award.  The Margot Kidder Award honors courageous men and women of goodwill who have advanced the use of safe, sensible, and effective alternative mental health treatments that heal the causes and symptoms of suffering, but do no harm.  The first recipient will be Ms. Kidder herself.
 
This brilliant woman does what no other celebrity will do: She speaks with wit, eloquence and a disarming frankness about her views on the drawbacks of conventional treatment and the bright future of alternative approaches.
 
Other speakers will include:
bulletDan Stradford, President and Founder of Safe Harbor, speaking on the achievements of Safe Harbor and the rapid growth of alternative mental health.
bulletDr. Hyla Cass, assistant professor of psychiatry at UCLA and one of the nation's leading authors of books on nutritional and herbal treatment of mental disorders.
bulletJessica Martinez, from the L. A. County Dept of Mental Heath, telling her own story of how she now lives drug-free after 15 years of psychiatric medication.
Awards will also be presented to Safe Harbor's top contributors.
 
Hors d'oeuvres will be served before the event with fine jazz music.  Event music by jazz master Dave McConnell and world-class sitarist Rahul Sakyaputra.
 
The tickets cost a very reasonable $60 before Sept. 7 and $75 after that.
