Omaha Home for Boys

The Omaha Home for Boys also serves adolescent boys needing psychiatric care.

The Home’s Cooper Village program provides a highly structured academic and residential psychiatric treatment program for boys, ages 12 – 18 years of age, whose needs are acute.

This unique combination of Psychopharmacology and Psychoeducational Therapy is a proven approach for reaching boys who up to this point have been treatment-resistant. 
There are three levels of care in Cooper Village’s psychiatric residential treatment program.

Highly structured residential treatment is provided for youth who require intense supervision.  During treatment, these boys attend a state-approved, on-campus school. Recreational therapy, vocational services, psychiatric and medical services are also available.

Enhanced treatment group home and treatment group homes provide the other levels of residential treatment.  These units “bridge the gap” for youth who no longer need highly structured psychiatric care, but are not quite ready to go back to their communities.  Youth receive mental health and substance abuse treatment along with educational, vocational and recreational services.

Co-ed day school and day treatment programs are for adolescent boys and girls who need educational and mental health services on a daily basis, but do not require residential placement. These youth have identifiable crises, but they have home environments that are strong enough for them to live at home.

The Omaha Home for Boys works with Uta Halee Girls Village, a psychiatric residential treatment program for girls, to provide this treatment program. 
The goal of treatment is for each youth to return to life in the community with improved ability to cope and succeed. Ideally, each youth returns home or may return to an alternative home such as a relative’s home (grandparents, etc.), foster care or a group home.
