Nebraska sends children out of state for serious mental health care
Original: Nebraska kids sent out of state when they need serious mental health care
Nebraska children who need intensive mental health treatment are being placed in facilities outside the state, according to reporting from the Flatwater Free Press. The practice separates children from their families and communities when they are at their most vulnerable. The reporting is prompting discussion about gaps in Nebraska's mental health care system for young people.
Why now: New investigative reporting has drawn attention to the lack of in-state psychiatric care options for Nebraska children.
