“It’s no coincidence that four of the six letters in HEALTH are HEAL.” – Ed Northstrum
Welcome
Mental health, along with physical health, is what defines our overall well-being. It is at the very core of how we see and react to the world around us. Recognizing the need for mental health services shows courage and strength. It is taking control of what matters most – you and your family!
Nebraska Mental Health helps you navigate your mental health needs in one, easy-to-use location. Let us provide you with the knowledge, resources and care you deserve.

Local
Region 6 Behavioral Healthcare Professional Partner Program
WHO WE ARE
The Professional Partners are facilitators of a team-based process called Wraparound. We are care coordinators who focus on advocating for family choice, assisting the family to identify goals for their child’s wellbeing. Utilizing a mix of natural and professional supports, we bring together a team that engages in a process to develop creative strategies to meet the youth and family’s needs. This team engages as equal partners with the family to then enact the strategies developed.
HOW IT WORKS
Wraparound is a team-based process that helps groups of people involved in a family’s life work together toward a common goal. The team creates a plan that includes ways to assure that youth and their families can experience success in their communities, homes and schools.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Families will be asked to help develop a team and make decisions with the team. They will be asked to identify family strengths and needs and then work with the team to consider a variety of actions to meet those identified needs. The team will meet monthly, at a time and place most convenient for the family, to evaluate whether the plan is delivering the results the family wants.
PROGRAM CORNERSTONES
- Staff work with youth and families as equal partners.
- We focus on community, and strengths-based interventions.
- We provide flexible funding for traditional and non-traditional supports/services.
