For six weeks beginning in March, NET Radio
will broadcast “Nebraska Connects: Mental Health Reform,”
a 12-part in-depth series on mental health reform and access
to care for Nebraskans in rural areas. The reports will be
airing during “Morning Edition” Thursdays and
Fridays at 6:30 and 8:30 a.m. CT, beginning March 2nd.

of rural communities in meeting mental health needs at the

health consumers, mental health care providers and advocates,
elected officials, law enforcement, Health and Human Services
Administrators, Native American leaders and Hispanic leaders.
