The Care Compact (TCC) is an enhanced care coordination program that links existing case management and care coordination service providers. It is offered through Douglas County and a network of dedicated community partners.
The Care Compact supports individuals with mental health, substance use disorder or intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) needs. The Care Compact is specifically designed to serve adults involved in multiple systems who have complex and overlapping needs – for example someone with IDD who also has a chronic disease and mental health concerns. People who work with The Care Compact frequently have unmet basic needs, or their basic necessities are unstable.
Based on a person’s needs TCC will create a Care Team, led by a Care Compact Navigator, that links systems and agencies involved in, or who could be helpful for, a person’s care to:

In 2023, The Care Compact expanded to include enhanced case management services for youth thanks to grants from the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This program is in a pilot phase. Currently, only community partners can refer youth to the program.
Following the pilot program, the goal is to fully launch a Youth Care Compact – with community referral access – in 2025.
About the Grant
The BHA grant is funding a Youth Care Compact Navigator, a dedicated Parent Liaison/case manager team, and a consultant to aid in program research, development, implementation and evaluation. The grant will also provide for care coordination training for the partnering network of care, and expansion of the program’s case management software to accommodate Youth Care Compact processes. The SAMHSA grant also includes funding for a Youth Care Compact Navigator.
The Care Compact and Youth Care Compact are programs of the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative.
