The Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska’s “Nebraska Model” for behavioral health workforce development was the focus of a six-minute video that first aired at the American Psychiatric Association’s annual conference this summer in Los Angeles.
The video features BHECN team members and partners from Nebraska and beyond discussing the model’s six components, which are:
- Career awareness: Inform students about behavioral health careers.
- Career preparation: Provide support and guidance to students interested in behavioral health careers.
- Training experiences: Financial support of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate behavioral health trainees.
- Professional support: Free continuing education for licensed behavioral health providers.
- Workforce research: Tracking the behavioral health workforce and reporting on trends.
- Outreach: Engagement with academic, community and workforce leaders across the state.
