New Mental Health Service Coming to Jewish Family Service this Fall

Jewish Family Service (www.jewishomaha.org) is excited to announce that they will be offering new mental health services in the fall of 2019. More and more mental health clinicians today are adapting their services to meet the demands of the digital world, and to accommodate the changing lifestyles of today’s consumers. Studies have shown that the positive effects of telehealth sessions are comparable to those of in-person care. In addition, according to Health Care Law Today (www.healthcarelawtoday.com), telehealth services are now required to be covered by health plans in the state of Nebraska (see Nebraska Statutes Section 44–7, 107).

Jewish Family Service has recognized the changing world of mental health service delivery and is beginning the process of implementing telehealth services into their practice. Policies and procedures will be in place to ensure that telehealth services are as secure and confidential as their in-office sessions, available across Nebraska.

Jewish Family Service is a member of the Metro Area Suicide Prevention Coalition and the Nebraska Adoption Agencies Association. For more information, please call (402) 330-2024 or visit www.jewishomaha.org.
