Thank you to all who joined us to reflect on our past and celebrate 25 years of advocacy for behavioral health in Nebraska!

Senators Arch, Pansing Brooks, and Cavanaugh (pictured above) joined our festivities, along with representatives from the Department of Health and Human Services, the Division of Behavioral Health, and Probation.

Some of the earliest members of NABHO reflected on NABHO's past and on future opportunities for advocacy. Pictured below (left to right): Pat Connell, Boys Town; Topher Hansen, CenterPointe; Jay Conrad, Houses of Hope; Dave Griek, MC; Beth Baxter, Region 3; and Susan Henrie, South Central Behavioral Health Services.

 We very much appreciate the guiding efforts of our MC, Dave Griek! You can find him on NTV! He helped create a non-profit organization known as the Central Nebraska LOSS (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) team in the Kearney area.
