Our Purpose

Nebraska Mental Health & Aging Coalition (NeMHAC) is an all-volunteer organization based in Omaha, NE that aims to help those who struggle with mental health and aging-related problems. We aim to spread awareness about the struggles of those suffering from these issues and advocate for more policies that can address their needs. We formed this coalition to discuss the relevant issues and campaign for bettering federal laws and policies to be more inclusive to people with mental health and aging disorders.

History & Composition

Spearheaded by Region 6 Behavioral Health, the Older Adult Mental Health Coalition was founded in May of 2016 in partnership with the University of Nebraska at Omaha and other key community leaders within the aging services network. The initial impetus for the coalition was to address issues of long term care placement for older adults with severe mental illnesses.
