Helping individuals experiencing mental health and substance use challenges achieve their unique potential.
About us
At Community Alliance, our sole focus is, and always has been on adults with mental illness. Since 1981, this fact has separated us from more traditional social service agencies and treatment centers in the Omaha area. We are an organization of over 250 dedicated, concerned professionals and volunteers who believe in the potential of recovery for all individuals with a mental illness and we dedicate all our resources to support the journey of each individual we serve. We work to provide programs and opportunities to encourage individuals to develop the strengths and skills to deal with their mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorder. Additionally, we serve as an advocate with doctors, social service networks, and throughout the community. We go outside the walls of the hospital and our own facilities to support people in their own neighborhoods and communities, where the strengths and confidences we have helped them develop can be put into practice. We advocate with government and others for greater access to the life-restoring services and needed policy changes that can ease the journey being traveled by so many individuals with mental illness and their families. And we work to help erase the stigma and myths that still surround mental illness and which still serve as roadblocks along the road to recovery.

Our peer support specialists have been there. They’ve faced mental health or substance use challenges and have traveled the road to recovery. We train our peer specialists to be teachers, role models and advocates who can translate their personal experiences into workable strategies for helping others. Leaning on their own past experiences, they help those we serve to better understand themselves, navigate resources and thrive in recovery. Interested in becoming a certified peer support specialist? Contact us at 402-341-5128 or info@commall.org.

“With the new day comes new strength.” Those words by Eleanor Roosevelt are featured in the reflection room at our Center for Mental Health, a calming space where the people we serve, their loved ones and our staff can take a break to reflect and reset. The room has a gentle curved design and features soft light, comfortable seating and serene photos of nature. We’re proud to offer this important reflection space as part of our integrated approach to care. Photo credit: William Hess Photography.

We are committed to providing families and friends with the help and support they need — and deserve — as they walk alongside a loved one living with mental health and substance use challenges. That’s why our Family-to-Family educational program is specifically designed for families, significant others and close friends to build connections, learn how to understand their loved ones, develop strategies for handling crises and more. Jane, a former program participant, shares her story in our latest blog to help others understand the profound impact of the program and how it continues to benefit her life.
