FamiliesResources for Families

As Nebraska’s Senator I have worked hard to promote and strengthen the family. As many Nebraskans have come to realize, there are many stresses and strains out there that families face every day. I know this not only from speaking with my constituents, but also from my experiences as a father and a grandfather as well.

Families can access many helpful resources that exist nationwide and in Nebraska that can help both parents and their children deal with these daily pressures. I have compiled a list of websites below to help get families the resources they may need today or sometime in the future under the areas of Education, Health, Technology, and Safety. Feel free to bookmark this page or add the links you find helpful to your list of frequently visited websites.
