Abstract

In Nebraska, the mental health crisis among youth is no longer a quiet undercurrent — it's a rising tide. More than a third of high school students report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, and one in five has seriously contemplated suicide within the past year. In response, Children's Nebraska — a nonprofit regional pediatric specialty health care center — is opening a new Behavioral Health & Wellness Center, to provide a full continuum of care to improve mental health care for youth ages 0–19.
