Locations | Experts | How You Can Help This Program

The Targeted Adult Service Coordination Program (TASC) is a non-fee service program consisting of several levels of services for those entering Emergency Protective Custody or are at high risk of entering Emergency Protective Custody:

Services include:

• Crisis Response Teams - As requested by law enforcement agencies, licensed mental health practitioners provide crisis intervention services and mental health triage assessment 24/7.
• Emergency Community Support - a short-term program that helps adults in crisis
• Intensive Care Management - provides client-centered services for "high utilizers" of behavioral health services to avoid high costs of continuous care, reduce resources spent and decrease morbidity and mortality. Available only in Lancaster County, Nebraska
• Bilingual/Bicultural Service Coordination - helps non- and limited-English speaking individuals receive mental health and/or substance abuse treatment at community-based facilities before their situation requires Emergency Protective Custody. Available only in Lancaster County, Nebraska.

These services support both the Emergency and Community Support Levels of Care, and occur through the provision of specialized case management/service coordinating services and a 24-hour crisis response component.

TASC provides goal-oriented and individualized supports focusing on improved self-sufficiency for persons served through assessment, planning, linkage, advocacy, coordination, and monitoring activities, and may provide occasional supportive counseling and crisis intervention services when allowed by regulatory or funding authorities. Programs work to achieve connectedness based on choice of the persons served.

TASC is a collaboration of Lutheran Family Services, Blue Valley Behavioral Health Centers and House of Hope. TASC services all 16 counties the Region V catchments area. Funding provided by Region V.
