Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska opens sixth site in Lincoln

4/14/25
Lincoln Journal Star

The Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska opened a new site in Lincoln recently, which means it now has locations in all six of the state's behavioral health regions. The very first site, the central location, was launched at the University of Nebraska at Kearney in 2015. Other sites are in Chadron, Wayne, Omaha, and North Platte. Each site responds to issues and needs of its particular areas, but all sites work to recruit and retain behavioral health workers due to an industry shortage.

The Lincoln site will respond to the needs of behavioral health workers in the southeastern part of the state, according to co-directors Kimberly Clawson and Wendy Baumeister. The region is a mix of rural and urban areas, including several higher education institutions where future behavioral health workers could receive training. It also houses multiple correctional facilities where there is a need for behavioral health workers. "Southeastern Nebraska is unique in so many ways, and its behavioral health workforce needs reflect that fact," Clawson said in a news release. "By working with stakeholders from a broad array of fields and communities, we will help ensure our workforce meets those needs and improves behavioral health for those who live here."

The site is already operational, but a formal opening event will 5-7 p.m. Tuesday at Region 5 Systems, 3600 Union Drive in Lincoln.
