Nebraska Revised Statute §43-247.03

(1) In any juvenile case, the court may provide the parties the opportunity to address issues involving the child's care and placement, services to the family, restorative justice, and other concerns through facilitated conferencing or mediation. Facilitated conferencing may include, but is not limited to, prehearing conferences, family group conferences, expedited family group conferences, child welfare mediation, permanency prehearing conferences, termination of parental rights prehearing conferences, and juvenile victim-offender dialogue. Funding and management for such services will be part of the office of the State Court Administrator. All discussions taking place during such facilitated conferences, including plea negotiations, shall be considered confidential and privileged communications, except communications required by mandatory reporting under section 28-711 for new allegations of child abuse or neglect which were not previously known or reported.
