Asbestos Worker License in Nebraska

Nebraska did not return a direct match in the COS regulatory database for a standardized social work license, resulting in lower confidence for this entry. However, Nebraska does license social workers through the Department of Health and Human Services, offering Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP), Certified Social Worker (CSW), Certified Master Social Worker (CMSW), and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner credentials. Nebraska's licensing structure integrates social work into a broader behavioral health framework, which may explain the lack of a direct match. The ASWB exam is generally required. Nebraska requires continuing education for renewal. The state faces significant social work workforce shortages, particularly in western Nebraska's rural and frontier communities. The University of Nebraska at Omaha produces social work graduates, but retention outside the Omaha and Lincoln metro areas is challenging. Nebraska has explored the Social Work Licensure Compact. Background checks are required for all applicants applying for behavioral health credentials.
