NABHO meets the third Friday of each month (except July) at Bryan Medical Center, West Campus, 2300 S 16th, Lincoln, NE. The meetings run from 10:00 a.m. till noon. The agenda items include educating members about current issues, setting policy priorities at the state and national level, reports from our lobbyist, executive director and various committees.
Members have the opportunity to network, ask questions and remain up to date on the most relevant issues impacting behavioral health services, consumers and providers. We place a strong emphasis on advocacy at State and National levels.

Our organization takes our privacy policy seriously and takes steps to protect and ensure the safety of our members. We do not sell or otherwise disclose information about our members outside of our immediate organization. This policy has no exceptions. We encourage members to remember that our meetings are for their benefit and a place for them to feel free to openly share their questions and concerns without fear that such dialogue and information will be repeated beyond our membership.

NABHO's activities are solely supported by membership dues. These resources pay for staff, lobby efforts, special projects and the day to day operations of the organization. Your membership in our state association automatically makes you a member of the National Council for Behavioral Health. That membership gives you access to the largest behavioral health conference in the country, special leadership trainings, technical assistance, consultation services, advocacy at the federal level and receipt of their newsletter and action alerts.
