Guest guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 Dear : It's so sad that there are no descent therapists and psychiatrists in your area of Nebraska. I attended the Governor's symposium this Spring on Early Childhood Mental Health and how we can improve mental health facilities throughout the state. Supposedly, we have $20 million of tobacco money to use for re-vamping the system, but from what I've been reading in the newspaper about State funds I wonder if we'll lose the money. We discussed incentive programs for therapists and psychiatrist to outer portions of the state. I know of some families that drive into Omaha a couple times a month in order to receive good services. I was fortunate to find a good psychiatrist and therapist the first time around. Both are with University Psychiatry (402-354-6800); Dr. Harrington is his p-doc and Robin Zagurski- is his therapist. They are both up to speed with OCD and the comorbities that can go with it. Robin does CBT with ER & P. has come a long way with her, even though it has been slow going. I know they work with people who have to come long distance for treatment. I believe they talk via phone in-between sessions to keep the therapy and meds on track. It might be worth a call and get a feel for what they might be able to do for you. I did meet some people from Grand Island and Kearney at the symposium, but I'm sorry I don't remember their names (I should've written them down) and I know they were very well versed in treatment for bi-polar and other mental disorders, so there must be someone out there who is knowledgeable. Ahhhh, I just tracked down my participant list from the Governor's Symposium and here are some of the people from Kearney: Carroll, Project Coordinator Nebraska Family Council (321-4981 ext 271); Beth Holthusen, Project Director, Nebraska Family Central (237-5113 ext 222); Angie Marquaredt, Professional Partner, Region 3 Behavioral Services, 4009 6th Ave., Ste 65 (237-5113 ext. 254); Ramage, SCRIP Co-Coordinator & UNK Professor, Univ. of Neb.- Kearney, 1701 W. 35th St., C113 (865-8359) Amy , Central Service Area Administrator, NDHHSS (865-5578) Kara Sandman, Nebraska Family Central (237-6618) (Mental Health Wrap Around Services) I hope someone on this list will be able to help you. Maybe you have already spoken to some of them. Good luck and welcome to the list -- it's been my lifesaver!!!!!
