Grace Abbott School of Social Work

Substance use disorders are on the rise, yet too few people are able to access treatment. That’s why we’re excited to launch Project BEST: Building Expertise in Substance Treatment.🤘❤️

Through a partnership between the Grace Abbott School of Social Work and Region 6, Project BEST is creating new pathways to increase the number of Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors (LADCs) in Nebraska.

✨ Summer 2026 intensive courses
✨ Supervision opportunities with experienced LADCs
✨ Stipends for community participants
✨ Housing support for those traveling to Omaha
✨ CEUs for practitioners and course credit for students

By investing in education, accessibility, and workforce development, we’re helping build a stronger behavioral health workforce for Nebraska’s future. If you want to start your LADC journey, enroll in our courses 📲https://www.unomaha.edu/college-of-public-affairs-and-community-service/social-work/graduate-programs/ladc-courses.php

📣 We Want to Hear From You!

To better understand opportunities and challenges related to strengthening the social work workforce in rural and frontier Nebraska, the Grace Abbott School of Social Work at the University of Nebraska at Omaha is hosting virtual focus groups as part of a statewide research study.

We have been grateful to hear from social workers across the state and are still actively welcoming participants. We are especially hoping to increase representation from western and central Nebraska. If you or someone you know serves one of the counties highlighted on the map below, we would love for you to join us.

Focus groups are informal, virtual, and take about one hour.
