How Local News Is Helping Omaha-Area Families Find Crisis Care

Awareness is the first step toward connecting people with the help they need.

Recently, three of our local media partners, KMTV NewsWatch 7, KMTV 3 News Now, and WOWT First Alert 6 News, helped spread the word about a vital community resource: Heartland Family Service’s Crisis Stabilization and Resource Center.

Why the Center Exists

In response to the community’s rapidly growing mental health crisis, Heartland Family Service (HFS) partnered with Region 6 to renovate and expand the crisis care offered at the Crisis Stabilization and Resource Center.

The goal is simple: when someone is in crisis, they should know where to turn and find help waiting for them when they arrive.

Each station visited our Sarpy Campus to sit down with Program Director Jenny Stewart to discuss the full range of support available:

• Crisis stabilization
• Mental health respite
