The Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska’s (BHECN) Legislative Report is a biennial publication that highlights Nebraska’s behavioral health workforce development and the impact of state policy and investment. Grounded in The Nebraska Model for workforce growth, the report shares data, stories, and insights into efforts to connect students with careers, support trainees toward licensure, retain professionals, and inform policymakers with workforce trends. It illustrates how strategic connections strengthen the state’s behavioral health system and expand access to care.
