THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK Becoming a Parent.” —RICKI LAKE When Mayim Bialik Got Pregnant, She Read a Lot of Books and Talked with Other Moms

“At once conversational, informative and progressive, this book should be compulsory [listening] for anyone who has even considered THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK becoming a parent.” —RICKI LAKE When Mayim Bialik got pregnant, she read a lot of books and talked with other moms. Through her studies, she became a proponent of attachment parenting—a philosophy that espouses cosleeping, baby wearing, extended nursing, and natural birth. To Mayim, attachment parenting’s natural, child- led approach made sense intellectually and instinctually. She found that when she followed her intuition and relaxed into her role as a mother, both she and her children thrived. In Beyond the Sling, Mayim examines the main stages of becoming a parent. She delineates the fundamental needs of a child, while also showing how popular culture has convinced us that we need too much “stuff.” Mayim’s honest perspective and impressive research into child development and human attachment combine for a realistic portrait of a family learning to coexist peacefully and lovingly. Beyond the Sling will inspire listeners to trust their instincts and gain the know-how to be the best moms and dads they can. Perhaps best known for her lead role as Blossom Russo in the early 1990s NBC television sitcom Blossom, Mayim Bialik currently stars in The Big Bang Theory. She earned a Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA in 2007. Married to her college sweetheart with two young sons, Mayim is also a writer for Kveller.com. Emily Durante has been narrating audiobooks for over ten years and has performed in a number of stage productions at the professional, collegiate, and regional levels. Her narrations include the Booklist Editors’ Choice Ah-Choo! by Jennifer Ackerman and Little Girls Can Be Mean by Michelle Anthony, M.A., Ph.D., and Reyna Lindert, Ph.D. Running Time: 8.5 Hours • Unabridged © 2012 Mayim Bialik 2012 Tantor Media, Inc.

Voices of Recovery Recovery Incorporates Both Quality of Life and Purpose in Life
2019 ANNUAL REPORT Voices of Recovery Recovery incorporates both quality of life and purpose in life. It means believing in oneself and having others believe in you. 1 | COMMUNITY ALLIANCE | VOICES OF RECOVERY Voices of Recovery Dear Friends and Colleagues: This past year, Community Alliance was privileged to serve over 3,000 men and women throughout the greater Omaha area and counties beyond. Some came to us after years of living in homelessness; others had just been diagnosed. Some had dropped out of school or the workplace; others wanted help hanging onto their jobs or educational goals even while battling their psychiatric symptoms. Many who crossed Community Alliance’s threshold were looking for a way to stop a seemingly endless cycle of crisis and hospitalization. Still others were facing significant physical health issues along with their mental health challenges. All, without exception, were in search of recovery. So what does recovery from mental illness really mean? When listening to the voices of those directly facing a major mental illness, one quickly comes to understand recovery is much more than an abatement of symptoms. Recovery incorporates both quality of life and purpose in life. It means believing in oneself and having others believe in you. It includes a sense of belonging and participation within one’s community through family, work, recreation, worship and more. It means shedding the stigma of illness and being given the opportunity to pursue one’s ambitions and goals. Through this annual report, we invite you to hear these Voices of Recovery and see the breadth and scope of our work at Community Alliance.

Curious ABout Space? With Emily Lakdawalla and Bill Nye the Science Guy! Is there life out there? Are we alone? How did we get here? Why are Venus and Mars so different from Earth?
