BHECN

The Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska (BHECN), pronounced “beacon”, was established in 2009 by a legislative bill to address the shortage of behavioral health professionals in rural and underserved areas of the state. It is a unique partnership among the state legislature, academic institutions, and community partners to create a statewide workforce solution to increase the number of licensed behavioral health professionals.

Operating from the UNMC campus and a “rural hub” location at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, BHECN is dedicated to improving access to behavioral and mental health care across the state of Nebraska by developing and retaining a skilled and passionate workforce. This is being accomplished through four major areas of focus: Recruitment through the Ambassador Program, preparing and training the future workforce, training and retention of the current workforce, and providing workforce reports and evaluation.

BHECN also supports psychiatric residency programs and recruits trainees for interprofessional clinical training sites and internships in rural and underserved areas.

BHECN also developed a statewide recruiting website with Region V Systems, www.NebraskaBehavioralHealthJobs.com, featuring exclusively behavioral health jobs in Nebraska. Employers can post unlimited jobs for free, and job seekers can search for free.
