Providers can earn free continuing education credits by participating in Project Peace training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBHECN recognizes that behavioral health care needs in Nebraska remain at a critical level, and this burden, particularly in rural areas, falls heavily on primary care providers,\u201d said Riley Machal, MD, who oversees Project Peace in her role as BHECN\u2019s assistant director of medical education. \u201cWe are incredibly grateful that the Medica Foundation saw the importance of this work and chose to support our efforts, which will benefit many Nebraskans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Medica Foundation is a nonprofit, grant-making foundation that is the charitable giving arm of Medica, a Minnesota-based health insurance company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BHECN will use the Medica Foundation funding to create new interactive e-modules&nbsp;to help primary care providers and others treat behavioral health conditions. The funding also will enable BHECN to host a workshop for a limited number of primary care providers to get more in-depth knowledge about the topics covered in the e-modules and engage in networking opportunities. The e-modules and the workshop will provide free continuing education credits to eligible participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BHECN plans to release the new modules and hold the workshop in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/bhecn\/education-training\/online-training\/project-peace.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Peace
