Outside of providing overnight lodging for families coming to Omaha for treatment, it has the following programs available under normal House operations: Meals That Heal (Curbside):Businesses, families, and other groups provide a hot meal every evening for the families. Completely Kids: Many children experience large gaps in education due to illness. Completely Kids offers curriculum-based programming for the kids, along with programming for adults such as parenting skills or knitting. Omaha Therapy Arts Collaborative and Project Harmony partnered with RMHC to create a pre-trauma support group that addresses the significant gap in much needed mental health care for the entire family of sick pediatric patients. Capitol School of Hairstyling and Esthetics provides haircuts in the House salon, offering an overall feeling of well-being to all family members staying at the House. Simon Says: Live Better Foundation visits RMHC on a monthly basis to throw a birthday party celebrating all children and parents' birthdays that month. Option Care, an independent provider of infusion services, provides equipment training to families so that they can better understand their child's diagnosis and what to expect moving forward. Students enrolled in the University of Nebraska Medical Center's Accelerated Nursing Program complete projects that support families during their stay. Huey, a community therapy dog with Paws of Friendship, and Ralphie, therapy dog in training, provide a slightly different level of support. Many members of the family benefit from just a few moments spent with these two incredible dogs. OmPophas built a digital platform with mindful parenting tools and techniques, along with yoga poses, activities and breathing exercises for children that help with stress, anxiety, courage, resilience and self-love. A variety of local artists provide programming that promotes healing through the arts and activities like song and dance, painting, theater, and puppetry.
