H
ope is a powerful word, perhaps one of the most powerful in
our language or any other language. At its core, hope is the
feeling or belief that what is wanted can actually be achieved. We all want to
have hope. We all need to have hope.
Consider the young adult, getting ready to go to college, who has just been
diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. Or the parents who were forced to
readmit their daughter to the hospital because her symptoms of schizophrenia
caused them to worry about her safety. Or the man who knows he won’t get
that job for which he is very qualified because he can’t explain the six months
he took off to get treatment for his severe depression. Hope can be in short
supply for these people and so many others in our community who are facing

there isn’t hard work ahead, but with hope, that hard work has a purpose.
In 2015, we were privileged to serve 2,606 men and women in our community
and within our programs, providing encouragement and support along with
effective tools and training that measurably improved their health, stability, and
quality of life. This annual report outlines just a portion of the work put forth,
the successes achieved, and the hope restored.
To our family members, supporters, volunteers, funders, donors and colleagues,
thank you for the privilege of your collaboration and partnership. We couldn’t
do it without you. Together, we have and will continue to bring hope and
recovery to those we serve.

Jeffrey Tambor brought his own message
of hope to a record crowd of over 700
people as part of Community Alliance’s
2015 Breaking the Silence event. The
Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning
actor shared how both he and other family members, including his parents
and brother battled severe depression and alcoholism. Tambor has been in
recovery for more than 16 years.
Intermixing his more serious comments with anecdotes from a storied
television and movie career, Tambor spoke of the importance of laughter,
relationships and resiliency. “There is no shame” in having these diseases, he
said. It is not a failure for having experienced them. Rather, it is a sign of
strength when one undertakes the hard work that comes with recovery.
“Recovery is
