How much is a worth?
How much is a life worth? COMMUNITY ALLIANCE 2014 ANNUAL REPORT What is a life worth? How do you measure the worth of a person with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, alcoholism, drug addiction or a homeless person? At Community Alliance – it’s priceless. In our disposable, not-my-problem world, it is easy to look the other way. There are those who “wouldn’t give two cents” to help others rebuild relationships . . . rebuild lives. To us, everyone is valuable in their own unique and irreplaceable way. People with mental illness need someone who will affirm that their life matters, someone who will help them reach their purpose and potential in life. At Community Alliance, it’s what we do every day. FINDING PURPOSE AND WORTH THROUGH RECOVERY A Worthwhile Mission of Recovery S chizophrenia. Bipolar disorder. Alcoholism. Addict.

We are equally proud to sets of words describe the very same share some of their stories with you in people. this annual report. Those who experience mental illness and addiction are not the one-dimensional people portrayed in the newspaper, on television, and in our own minds. Yet the stigma, blame, “pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” “fix it once and for all” mentality that continues in our society all 1 “ People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.” – Audrey Hepburn COMMUNITY ALLIANCE ANNUAL REPORT 2014 “ It took me nine years of trying before I found recovery. During that time I tried everything to stop using drugs and alcohol, and nothing worked. If you had met me back then you might have thought or said to yourself, ’you know that Chris Lawford sure is a nice guy and he’s worked really hard at this, but he’s probably going to die.’ Indeed, this is often the headline related to this illness. Some think that any effort or investment is squandered and simply not worth the time or the effort to deal with those who are addicts. Well, I stand here today 28 years in recovery and I can tell you that is emphatically not true. Chris Lawford Breaking the Silence, 2014 A life ” of value 2 FINDING PURPOSE AND WORTH THROUGH RECOVERY Our Mission: Helping individuals with mental illness achieve their unique potential and to live, work, learn and contribute in a community of mutual support. Community Alliance has earned national accreditation by CARF, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities in the following program areas: Psychosocial Rehabilitation Community Integration Case Management/Services Coordination Crisis & Information Center – Consumer-Run Community Housing Mental Health Assertive Community Treatment Employment Services Community Employment Services Integrated AOD/MH Care OutpatientTreatment Comprehensive Care Health Home 3 COMMUNITY ALLIANCE ANNUAL REPORT 2014 It was the family that first approached A Community Alliance, looking for answers about how to help their daughter who was in the hospital for the third time in a year. They knew they couldn’t just keep taking her back home, hoping that somehow they could break this downward cycle she was on. Community Alliance went to visit Bella in the hospital and, while struggling, it was clear that she too, did not want to remain dependent on her parents. Over time and in coordination with family and hospital staff, Bella was enrolled in the ACT program where she had increased access to psychiatric care as well as a full range of other treatment and rehabilitation services. Bella worked with the team to develop insight and structure her daily schedule in a way that avoided the highs and lows she had been experiencing for such a long time. Her parents also enrolled in a program of their own, the 12 week “Family to Family” class provided at Community Alliance. There they learned how to support their daughter’s recovery and take care of themselves at the same time. While both family and Bella know that there are still significant challenges ahead, there is now a reason for optimism. 4 life of value FINDING PURPOSE AND WORTH THROUGH RECOVERY Assertive Community Treatment Persons Served: 111 ACT is a national, evidence-based model utilizing an inter-disciplinary team approach, including physician, nurse, therapist, rehabilitation professional and peer support specialist to provide a full range of community treatment, rehabilitation and support services aimed at increasing community tenure. Family Education & Support Persons Served: 211 Community Alliance’s family services provide education, understanding and practical information to help family members, friends and partners cope with a loved one’s illness and be a part of the recovery process. At Community Alliance, we are dedicated to providing quality services which measurably “ Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.” enrich the lives of those – Jane Goodall we serve. 5 COMMUNITY ALLIANCE ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Homeless Services Persons Served: 459 Homeless services offered by Community Alliance focus on reaching out and providing assistance to meet immediate needs, and helping those with mental illness to obtain the housing, mental health, and other services needed to transition from homelessness . Social Security Outreach, Access and Recovery Persons Served: 200 SOAR offers specialized assistance in navigating through the process of applying for Social Security benefits for individuals with mental illness, with a particular focus on assisting those who are experiencing homelessness and who require such assistance as the financial foundation to obtaining housing and medical care. We respect the dignity and worth of each individual with whom we interact. 6 FINDING PURPOSE AND WORTH THROUGH RECOVERY After he was discharged from the service, Sam bounced around from job to job, and from one buddy’s apartment to another. Over time, he didn’t have the energy to look for another job, and one by one, his friends eventually told him he needed to move on. He slept in his car for awhile, until it broke down and he couldn’t afford to get it repaired. He ended up living along the river, surviving day to day by holding out a sign asking for food at busy intersections. Then one day, an outreach worker from Community Alliance stopped to talk with him. The worker continued to stop by and, bit by bit, earned Sam’s trust. Over time, Sam accepted Community Alliance’s help in getting food, then coming inside on a particularly cold night, and eventually an invitation to see a doctor for treatment of his depression. Because Sam doesn’t qualify for service-connected disability, he is now working with the SOAR team to apply for Social Security benefits. He is also applying for specialized housing assistance that is linked to mental health and other supportive services – all coordinated to help people like Sam transition from homelessness. Sam’s plan for the future includes going back to school and maybe becoming a peer outreach worker himself, so that he can help other folks, especially veterans, who might also be struggling. 7 A life of value COMMUNITY ALLIANCE ANNUAL REPORT 2014 A life of value The only family Jake ever knew was an abusive father addicted to meth and an alcoholic mother. He never finished high school and by age nineteen had spent time in jail for shoplifting and drug possession. As he bounced around through the system, Jake was eventually diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. But without a job and any hope to hang on to, Jake’s life continued to spiral downward until a social worker talked to him about the resources available at Community Alliance. Now Jake is learning how to manage his disease through classes taken at Community Alliance’s Day Rehabilitation center. In addition, he is working individually with a Community Support worker to take on the responsibilities that go with living on his own and successfully completing his court supervised probation. Through all this, he has discovered that while drug abuse and mental illness are often co-occurring problems, he is a person of value and has a life worth living. 8 FINDING PURPOSE AND WORTH THROUGH RECOVERY Day Rehabilitation Vocational Services Persons Served: 886 Persons Served: 237 A weekday program focused on learning about one’s illness, developing the skills and stamina to perform everyday tasks, and reentering into work and community life.

We are dedicated to serving individuals in their community, close to their homes, their family and friends and other support systems. 10 FINDING PURPOSE AND WORTH THROUGH RECOVERY A life of value Kathy often felt alone growing up, even when she was surrounded by other people. While everyone else seem to be happy and connected in high school and college, she became increasingly disengaged, thinking that she had little to offer and that others were making fun of her when she did try to join them. At some point, she started experimenting with prescription drugs and became increasingly reliant on them to deal with her loneliness and lack of confidence. “Why can’t I be normal? Why can’t I be happy, too?” was a theme that played over and over during her dark times of acute depression. And there were frequent thoughts of just ending it all. Kathy lost her job and was evicted from her apartment after being hospitalized for a drug overdose. Feeling like she could benefit from additional help, a counselor referred her to Community Alliance where she agreed to move into one of their Residential Rehabilitation facilities. There, as she began to deal with her depression, she also found the strength and insight to overcome her drug dependency. It was the beginning of her personal journey toward recovery, a journey that continues as she moves once again into her own apartment and rebuilds relationships in the community. 11 Breaking the Silence – The Faces of Mental Illness & Addiction B B r e a k i n g the Silence ® 2 0 1 4 reaking the Silence 2014 We must move beyond the stigma and featured the stories of three the stereotypes of all who struggle with individuals, all of who, as young men, mental illness and addiction, including could too easily have been written off as the more than 2,200 men and women not worth our efforts. Their stories told of served by Community Alliance, and see individuals so consumed by alcohol, the value and worth of each individual. drugs, and mental illness as to be That is the message heard from seemingly incapable of contributing to Christopher Lawford, Patrick Kennedy, their friends and families, much less to and David Sheff at this year’s Breaking community or country. Yet, as we the Silence event. The record-setting listened to the actor and entertainer who support by sponsors, volunteers, and now serves as a goodwill ambassador to participants affirmed the speakers’ the United Nations, the former judgment that “Omaha is an amazing Congressman from Rhode Island who community” where together, hope, helped pass landmark legislation to acceptance and recovery is not just assure parity in insurance coverage for an abstract concept, but an mental illnesses and is currently leading achievable reality. a national effort to promote brain research, and a father who, because of his son’s illnesses, has helped change public policy related to our national efforts on fighting drug abuse, the significant impact and value of each of their lives has become exceedingly clear. 12 This year’s Breaking the Silence dealt with the dual challenge of mental illness and addiction. It was pointed out that more than one-third of those who struggle with alcoholism have a mental illness, as do one-half of those in the throes of drug addiction. Many people with a mental illness “self-medicate” with alcohol and drugs to feel . . . or not to feel . . . something. In terms of co-occurirring mental illness and addiction, it was stated that “recovery is a choice,” “treatment works,” and as a result, you become a better person “because you are in recovery.” You are “worth” the work it takes to help you fulfill the promise of a better life. FINDING PURPOSE AND WORTH THROUGH RECOVERY How much is a life worth? 13 COMMUNITY ALLIANCE ANNUAL REPORT 2014 A life of value With alcoholism and mental illness deep in his family history, Stan had two strikes against him from the start. When he lost his job and broke up with his girl friend at about the same time, he tried to find a way out of the pain and anxiety by drinking, and eventually hit rock bottom. One night, he found a card with Safe Harbor’s phone number that a police officer had given him a few month’s before. Feeling like he was in crisis, he called the peer support team at Safe Harbor. Stan spoke with a peer support specialist who took time listening to his story. He could feel true compassion and empathy on the other end of the phone. He heard him say, “I’ve been in your shoes myself, my friend.” Sometimes all it takes to find the way out of what appears to be an inevitably bad ending is to discover that someone else has been there, and they can help you see light at the end of that long, frightening tunnel. Stan continues to call or visit Safe Harbor whenever he feels like he losing focus on his recovery. With the encouragement of the peer support staff, he continues to see a therapist and is feeling strong enough to start the next phase of his recovery, looking for a job and returning to work. 14 FINDING PURPOSE AND WORTH THROUGH RECOVERY We will serve as Safe Harbor Peer Crisis Diversion Services Persons Served: 92 guests; 736 callers Offers peer assistance for those experiencing a crisis in their lives that is causing significant stress, yet does not require immediate psychiatric care or hospitalization. Peer Support Persons Served: 437 Peer support specialists enrich the connection and impact of the programs at Community Alliance by providing “I’ve been there” understanding, resources and hands-on support focused on wellness and recovery support. 15 leaders and innovators in behavioral health across our community and state. COMMUNITY ALLIANCE ANNUAL REPORT 2014 A 16 life of value FINDING PURPOSE AND WORTH THROUGH RECOVERY Nancy was at the emergency room again. It was her third time in 6 months, always with a similar complaint. Her ears were pounding, her heart was racing, and she felt like she wanted to “jump out of my skin.” She knew something was wrong, but the minute she told the ER doctors that she was taking medicine for her mental illness, she saw the look on their faces change. Their focus on finding a physiological explanation for these recurrent symptoms was no longer there. “It’s as though having a mental illness made it impossible for me to also have a physical illness,” she told her psychiatrist at Community Alliance. “Why can’t they listen to me? Just because I have a mental illness doesn’t mean I’m worthless!” Primary Health Care In Collaboration with OneWorld Community Health Centers Persons Served: 225 Primary care, health and wellness activities, and health navigators are provided at Commuhity Allance as part of an integrated approach to helping individuals achieve both physical and mental wellness. Outpatient Psychiatric Care Persons Served: 154 On-site psychiatric care, medication management, and therapy, also supported by health navigators further enhance the organization’s integrated approach to whole person health and recovery. It was after that visit to the ER that Nancy signed up for Community Alliance’s integrated health care program, offered in partnership with OneWorld Community Health Centers. She received her first comprehensive physical in years and learned that she was pre-diabetic. Because both her psychiatrist and primary care physician office next to each other, they were able to better coordinate her medications and her overall treatment plan. Her health navigator got Nancy involved in the agency’s wellness programs, and she is now eating better and has joined a walking group to help her lose weight. “I feel like my entire team values me as a person now,” she says. “My mental health is better and my physical health is better too! I have the energy and the confidence now to spend more time with my grandchildren and maybe even start up volunteering again.” We work together eliminate the stigma and discrimination to still associated with mental illness. 17 COMMUNITY ALLIANCE ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Financial Summary The services of Community Alliance are funded, in part, by the Nebraska Department of Education, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation; Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services; Region 6 Behavioral Healthcare; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
