Under the leadership of its co-founders, Dr. Christine Call and Dr. Charlie Stoops, the Project incorporated in 2003 with the mission to end domestic abuse through comprehensive, culturally responsive direct service, community education and outreach, and research. The Center currently serves up to 150 participants in ten intervention groups at any one time in three Chicago neighborhoods: Tri-Taylor,

Englewood, and Back-of-the-Yards, Center for Advancing Domestic Peace provided services to 326 men and  women in Fiscal Year 2014 (July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014). Notable statistics from FY 2014 include the percentage of participants who are unemployed (61%) and the percentage who have children (82%).

CADP seeks to provide effective interventions that promote changes in beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors and teach healthy relationship skills that can help program participants end their violence and foster safety for women, children, and men in their homes and communities. CADP continues its work to develop strategies that encourage program participants who are nearing completion to initiate prevention activities
in their communities. CADP understands domestic violence and community violence economically depletes communities decreasing resources for life-enhancing activities. The Center’s goal is to provide services and community outreach that support both individual and societal change.

We help people overcome drug problems, other health conditions, and arrest histories. Through our advocacy and case management services, we show our clients that their past isn’t necessarily the path of their future, and that they can succeed in changing their lives.

Throughout Illinois, we work with men, women, and youth who are involved in courts, prisons, public health, and child welfare systems. We connect these government systems to services in the community.

Success through Case Management

TASC does not provide treatment, but instead we are independent advocates who place clients into community-based treatment programs and other services that will help them succeed. We also provide ongoing case management, often for many months or more.

People who receive TASC’s case management services are more successful—in terms of reduced drug use and reduced use of government programs—than those who don’t get TASC.

Our goal is to help adults and youth become healthy and responsible citizens and family members. Through our statewide team of care coordinators, we help our clients live up to the hopes they have for themselves and the promises they make to others.

Statewide Services and National Consulting

There are a number of TASC programs throughout the United States. The TASC model was introduced to Illinois in 1976, and we now reach nearly 29,000 people across the state annually.

Our partners include more than 240 community-based treatment providers across Illinois, along with numerous supporters at local, state, and national levels.

Also, through our Center for Health and Justice, we offer consulting, training, and broad-based public policy solutions nationally and internationally.
