Behavioral & Mental Health
If you’re struggling with mental health, you’re not alone. More than 50 percent of Americans will be diagnosed with a mental disorder at some point in their life. Mental health disorders can affect your everyday activities by zapping your energy and keeping you from doing the things you enjoy. Our mental health professionals are here to help you.
Conditions We Treat
We offer compassionate, comprehensive, and individualized treatment for:
Our Commitment to Care
The need for behavioral health services across Nebraska continues to increase, creating new challenges for patients, families, and providers. Limited resources compound the complexity of meeting these needs. Despite these challenges, we continue to provide this vital service as a nonprofit hospital for the sole purpose of benefiting the communities we serve.
Outpatient and Inpatient Options
In addition to our inpatient behavioral health services, our outpatient behavioral health services have grown significantly. What began with no outpatient services has expanded into a clinic staffed by three therapists and four nurse practitioners who provide care for children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. These services reach multiple rural communities across Northeast Nebraska, improving access to behavioral health care throughout the region through outreach clinics and telehealth services.
Outpatient Therapy
Outpatient therapy is available for all ages and no referral is required. Our mental health professionals offer a safe environment for you to feel empowered, rebuild hope, and move forward.
Inpatient Care
If you would best benefit from more intensive, specialized inpatient care, our Behavioral Health Unit offers a safe and structured environment for adults. Our multidisciplinary team includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, nurses, techs, therapists, and social workers.
Collaboration is Key
Because Nebraska’s behavioral health facilities must often share patients across long distances, sometimes more than 400 miles from Norfolk, collaboration is essential. Healthcare providers and mental health professionals are trained to treat and support individuals experiencing psychiatric crises, but they have extremely limited authority to enforce laws or control dangerous situations. In contrast, law enforcement officers have the power under Nebraska law to intervene and maintain public safety, but they may not have the specialized training to address underlying mental health needs. Thus, the collaboration between the two is vital to the timely and appropriate care of those in need of mental health services.
