About Us
Blue Valley Behavioral Health (BVBH) is a private non-profit corporation that
serves fifteen counties in Southeast and East Central Nebraska. BVBH was
established in 1968 in response to concerned citizens who showed an interest in
bringing mental health and substance abuse services to the area. BVBH has a
history of continuous growth and development, and subsequently has broadened the
services provided to the citizens of this area.
A local board of directors governs the operation of BVBH representing the
counties served by the agency. Blue Valley Behavioral Health is accredited by
the Joint Commission of the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and the
Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
Our Mission
Blue Valley Behavioral Health (BVBH) exists to provide quality professional
outpatient behavioral healthcare to our rural service area in cooperation
with other providers.
Our Vision
Blue Valley Behavioral Health (BVBH) will strive to provide affordable and
accessible behavioral health services to individuals of all ages. We will
specialize in treating people in our communities who are impacted by life’s
difficulties in a safe, supportive and caring environment. Our services will be
provided by professional staff who are driven to help each individual, adult or
child, develop new strengths and abilities in living an enjoyable satisfying
life.
Our Values
Our values represent what we believe is vital in providing
effective and reliable behavioral health services. These values also provide the
direction we need as an agency to ensure our continued growth and success in the
rural community:
Client Focused: This is the primary purpose why we
work for BVBH. We are in the business of helping people. We value helping others
irregardless of their age, sex, income level or current problem(s) they are
experiencing.
Quality: We will provide excellent service to our
clientele. In addition, no matter what job or responsibility we are doing for
BVBH, we will do it well.
Collaboration: At BVBH, we value collaboration
within and outside of our agency. We cannot exist without having relationships
with others. We work with each other as staff and we work together with referral
sources and other entities. Collaborating helps us accomplish and sustain more
than if we work separately.
Accountability: We value accountability because of
how we are structured. Having eleven (11) different offices and staff working in
and out of the office, accountability is essential. Accountability is a result
of knowing and understanding the importance of all of our different
responsibilities and doing them well.
Respect: We respect each other and those who we
serve. There will always be a variety of differences between all of us (staff
and clients) and we need to respect these differences. With respect we can serve
anyone.
