Children with autism and developmental delays in foster care face extra hurdles—complex assessments, specialized services, and communication needs.

CASA volunteers are trained to advocate for appropriate evaluations and therapies and ensure educational and medical needs are met. Their work helps secure stability, supports access to services, and protects each child’s best interests.

COMMUNITY ALERT | Since late March, six people in Lincoln are believed to have died from drug overdoses, including two today (April 8th). Our thoughts go out to the loved ones impacted by these tragedies.

At this time, our Narcotics and Criminal Investigations Units are working to determine what substances were responsible for the deaths and if there is any connection between them. The investigations are ongoing.

Please be aware of this upward trend in deaths and do NOT take anything not prescribed to you by a medical professional. Overdoses can happen to anyone.

Remember, Narcan (naloxone) can help reverse an opioid overdose. It is FREE in Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department vending machines around the city, at many local pharmacies and online at stopodne.com.
