Client Services

Nebraska AIDS Project provides services for over 1,000 clients and their families annually.  NAP has five offices in Nebraska (Omaha, Lincoln, Norfolk, Kearney, and Scottsbluff) that serve the entire state, as well as counties in southwest Iowa (Omaha office) and counties in southeast Wyoming (Scottsbluff office).

Case Management

NAP’s professional case managers conduct a supportive process of assessment, advocacy, intervention, and monitoring to maintain a client’s maximum level of health, stability, and self-sufficiency. Case managers work with clients in strict confidence to facilitate links to medical and social service resources, to develop care plans, and to cultivate practical, social, and emotional support for people living with HIV and AIDS in our communities.

Intake, Assessment, and Planning

Case managers start with a non-judgmental assessment of “where clients are” with respect to medical, psychosocial, financial, and daily living issues. Care plans and referrals to outside services are developed according to the client’s needs, strengths, and challenges. Clients may also consult with their case managers about sexuality concerns, drug and alcohol use, and mental health issues to achieve the best possible quality of life.

Case Managers help connect clients to appropriate:

  • Medical care & treatment
  • Emergency financial assistance
