Jodie Sweetin To Be Honored By Writers In Treatment

Writers In Treatment, which supports recovery and the arts, announced TV and film star Jodie Sweetin as this year’s honoree of the 10th Experience, Strength and Hope Award® .

Best known as the precocious middle daughter on ABC's Full House, today she shines on and off screen, and can be seen reprising her role as Stephanie Tanner in the Netflix reboot Fuller House.

The 10th Annual Experience, Strength and Hope Award® is given in recognition of an individual's memoir, including their honest journey from addiction to recovery, and their dedication and enthusiasm for carrying the “message” to a society awash in addiction.

The event will take place on Thursday, February 28, 2019 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Hosting this year’s award show is none other than six-time Emmy Award nominee and environmentalist, Ed Begley Jr.

Headlining the evening is comedian and star of Showtime and HBO comedy specials, Mark Schiff.

“For the past ten years, it’s been very gratifying honoring these remarkable individuals who’ve taken the time and have had the fortitude to bare their souls writing such compelling memoirs”, remarked founder Leonard Buschel. “We mark this 10th anniversary honoring Jodie Sweetin, who went from adored child star, to struggling addict, then rising phoenix-like to become an author, devoted mother and full time TV and film actress. I am proud to be part of the same 12 Step fellowship that has helped so many become and stay Clean and Sober.”

Event tickets are $100 and can be purchased at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3909581. Proceeds will benefit Writers In Treatment, which produces the national REEL Recovery Film Festival & Symposium.
