Dear Friends, Practitioners, Students, Alumni, and Community Partners:
At GATSA, we are driven by a shared passion for empowering behavioral health professionals, social workers, students, alumni, and community partners to create meaningful change. Since our inception in 2018, we have proudly served as a cornerstone for continuing education, professional development, and collaborative support for practitioners in Nebraska, Iowa, and beyond. Our work is guided by a deep commitment to ensuring that those who tirelessly serve our most vulnerable populations have access to the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to thrive.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide accessible, affordable, and evidence-based workforce development opportunities that support professionals at every stage of their career. Whether you are just beginning your journey or are a seasoned expert, GATSA offers programs tailored to meet your needs.
Collaboration lies at the heart of what we do. By partnering with the University of Nebraska System, community organizations, and subject matter experts, we deliver programming that reflects the evolving needs of the workforce and the communities we serve. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion ensures that our offerings break down barriers, promote accessibility, and elevate the professions of social work and mental health practice.
As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunities ahead. GATSA is dedicated to expanding our reach, building new partnerships, and enhancing the ways we support professionals in both urban and rural settings. Together, we are shaping a stronger, more resilient behavioral health community, one that meets the challenges of today while preparing for the opportunities of tomorrow.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support and collaboration make our work possible. We encourage you to stay connected by signing up for our email updates, following us on social media, and sharing your ideas for how we can grow together.
