Dear Friends,

As we all are confronting the impact of COVID-19, TASC remains committed to serving our clients across Illinois. We currently are continuing to provide services both in communities and in our TASC locations throughout the state, while also reinforcing critical measures to maintain the health and safety of our staff, clients, and colleagues.

We know that social isolation can be devastating for people struggling with substance use disorders, for those in unsafe or unstable living situations, and for those working to maintain their recovery. We are resolved to be present and supportive for our clients, and for one another. What that presence looks like may evolve as the changing external circumstances allow; for example, we are augmenting our use of telehealth services so that we can continue to provide case management, outpatient treatment, and critical client advocacy and support.

Each day, we continue to monitor guidelines from the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and we will continue to adapt our practices as needed in this quickly changing situation.

We are deeply grateful to our staff and supporters for remaining committed, flexible, caring, and compassionate as we advocate for individuals and families who face many vulnerabilities and uncertainties, even more so now than before.

We are in this together, and we will emerge from this together as well. One day at a time.

Sincerely,

Pam Rodriguez
TASC President and CEO
