New Website Connects Omaha Community With Mental Health Resources and Treatment Options

One in four adults, or approximately 61.5 million Americans, experience mental illness in a given year. Moreover, approximately 20 percent of youth ages 13 to 18 live with a mental health condition. Project Harmony (www.projectharmony.com) along with The Kim Foundation, Project Everlast, Region 6 and Nebraska Families Collaborative have come together to improve access to mental health resources and treatment for children and families in our community through one dedicated website, NebraskaMentalHealth.com.

This website is a one-stop shop for those navigating their mental health needs and searching for mental health practitioners in the Omaha Metro area. It brings unbiased data, local resources and a wealth of information to a single, accessible user-friendly location. With new resources added continually, NebraskaMentalHealth.com addresses basic needs (such as transportation, food pantries and utility assistance) as well as provides general definitions of common mental health evaluations and treatment models. This isn’t just about finding a mental health provider, it is about feeling informed and empowered.
