On any given year in Nebraska, more than 53% of adults with any form of mental illness receive no treatment. This is higher than the national average and could be in part due to the fact that 32 of the 93 counties in Nebraska don’t even have a single mental health provider. The vast majority of Nebraska counties have a shortage of mental health providers. Struggling with mental health is hard enough, but trying to work through things alone can be almost impossible. But that’s the reality for more than half of Nebraska residents who receive no treatment for their mental health issues. In fact, 32 Nebraska counties don’t have any mental health providers at all. Asking for help is hard, but it’s the first step toward real change and a better life. Get help no matter where you are in Nebraska when you call one of these hotlines. Fortunately, there’s help. No shortage of providers (or shortage of funds) should ever prevent you from getting the help you deserve. The following resources are free of charge, confidential, and available to all Nebraska residents. Help yourself or someone you love today.
