Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities (TASC), an Illinois non-profit that specializes in case management services independent of the treatment system for people referred by legal systems and family services in Illinois, such as jails and courts, the Illinois Department of Corrections (DOC), and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Through decades of specialized case management experience, TASC helps people (women, men, and youth) who are struggling with drug/alcohol use, family issues, and other concerns obtain services that are right for them.
As part of its core functions to ensure continued focus on the needs of the clients, distinct from the needs of service providers for example, TASC conducts reviews of its client-involved critical incidents. As a result of this type of forensic review process, TASC identified common high-risk situations that preceded the client’s critical incident.
In the first of this two-part RSAT webinar series, participants will learn the High-Intensity Case Management (HICM) protocol developed in order to decrease the frequency and severity of the types of crises’ clients were involved in.. The two-part webinar series will review clients identified as high risk (not used in the criminogenic understanding of the phrase “high-risk” but an exposure to events and activities that endanger the client’s success), how to screen for these clients, what services should be provided in order to decrease their risk of being involved in critical events,, the frequency with which services should be provided, and concrete measures to determine when clients can move (back) to regular case management services. The webinars, a two-part series, will provide pragmatic, concrete descriptions of HICM service delivery.
