May is Mental Health Month and our Outreach Team is partnering with Children’s Hospital’s Behavioral Health & Wellness Center for the Month of May.
The Behavioral Health & Wellness Center at Children’s Nebraska, which opened in January 2026, is a first-of-its-kind facility designed to meet the urgent and growing mental health needs of children and teens in our community. With one in five Nebraska youth experiencing a mental health condition and many more reporting feelings of sadness or hopelessness, this center provides immediate, compassionate care for children regardless of the level of need. Through our “no wrong door” approach, families have access to a full continuum of services, including crisis assessment, outpatient therapy, inpatient care, partial hospitalization, and family-centered support, all in one location. This innovative, holistic model ensures that every child and family receives timely care, clear next steps, and ongoing support, offering hope, healing, and a stronger future for our community.
