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 means young patients are far from their families and support networks while receiving care. The report raises questions about the availability of in-state psychiatric services for children and the strain on Nebraska's mental health system.
Why now: New investigative reporting has drawn attention to the lack of in-state children's psychiatric care in Nebraska.
