Requirements in ethics

At least four (4) contact hours of the thirty-two (32) must be devoted to ethics.

real-time interactive learning

At least six (6) contact hours must relate to diagnosis and treatment of major mental disorders, and all CE must be related to mental health practice and obtained from providers approved by the Nebraska Board of Mental Health Practice (e.g., ASWB-ACE approved).

Yes, our courses are accepted by the Nebraska Board of Mental Health Practice for a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMHP-S).

You can take as few or as many courses as you need—it's flexible!
In Nebraska, the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) title is used by a practitioner who holds both a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) license and a Certified Master Social Worker (CMSW) certificate. Nebraska separately recognizes the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) title for social workers who also qualify as Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioners.
A Nebraska clinical social worker generally needs a qualifying master’s or doctoral degree in social work, the experience and examination required for CMSW certification, and the qualifications required for the LMHP license. Nebraska law requires a CMSW applicant to complete at least 3,000 hours of postgraduate social work experience under appropriate supervision and pass a Board-approved examination.
Nebraska requires 3,000 hours of supervised postgraduate mental health practice, including at least 1,500 hours of direct client contact. The remaining 1,500 hours may include activities such as record review, case conferences, direct observation, and video observation, and the supervision must include at least one hour of evaluative face-to-face contact per week.
A Nebraska LCSW combines LMHP licensure with CMSW certification, but an LMHP has limits on independently diagnosing and treating major mental illnesses or disorders. An LICSW combines LIMHP licensure with CMSW certification and may provide independent mental health practice, including diagnosis and treatment of major mental disorders without the consultation requirement that applies to an LMHP.
Yes, beginning January 1, 2027. Nebraska law requires LMHPs and LIMHPs to complete at least 2 hours of continuing education in domestic-abuse counseling every two years, taught by an instructor who meets the statutory training and experience requirements.
