Every year, hundreds of youth in Nebraska are removed from their families because of neglect and abuse. While these families heal, their children need a safe, loving, home-like atmosphere with minimal judgment and abundant patience.
LFS provides a one-of-a-kind support system for families and children throughout the entire foster care process.
Lutheran Family Services expresses love to all people by providing quality human care services.
Foster parents have the most direct contact with the child and are central to the team, which includes. Every foster case is tailored to the needs of the family and the child.
LFS was founded as an orphanage in 1892 and has served children ever since. Adoption has gone through many changes over the years, and we have been there to help families navigate them all.
The Health 360 Integrated Care Clinic integrates mental health, substance use and primary care services to produce the best outcomes for you. Integrated care proves the most effective approach to caring for people with multiple healthcare needs. Health 360 is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC).

Requirements to become a foster parent
If you're worried about being on your own as a foster parent, don't be! Many resources are available to families.
There are plenty of educational materials on the Nebraska DHHS website. You can learn about definitions and common phrases, Medicaid for foster youth, and what it means to become a resource parent. Plus, there are consultants available to resource families.
Remember, there's plenty of information you can find online as well. From blogs to books, there's no shortage of educational materials for foster parents. Many informative materials cost nothing and teach you invaluable tips.
You'll work closely with your local foster care agency. You'll always have at least one point of contact to turn to if you have questions.
Don't forget about creating a support network. Make sure to include other foster parents and advocates from your area. You'll face obstacles on your journey, such as navigating the legal system or saying goodbye. Having the right person on your side for support makes all the difference.

They treated me like a criminal threatening to make me take drug tests because I refused a drug eval because I had one recently done. I was getting services to better myself on my own free will and they wanted to treat me like a criminal. I would never recommend this place to anyone!!!

Avoid going here if you need a substance abuse evaluation, DO NOT GO if they pair you with Virgin for your evaluation.

The nurse practitioner here might as well have no education because she knows nothing about her job! Claiming you can’t switch doctors but you have every right to switch doctors if you don’t like the doctor you are seeing because that doctor you see wants to stop your medication without properly weaning you off of it after 5 years of taking that medication because they don’t care about your mental health and don’t want to pay attention to what you need to get better.

Horrible experience every time I go.

Saved my life. Not sure how everything ended up working out but it did. Paid next to nothing for their service, and it was extremely worth it. I probably would be dead if not for this service.
