Support NADD

Thank you from all of us at NADD

NADD has thrived because so many have generously offered their time and talent as well as their financial resources to support our mission through publications, programs, trainings, consultations, and conferences.  For 30 years, thanks to your support, NADD has been improving the quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities co-occurring with mental illness by:

• Facilitating a more accurate diagnosis.  An accurate diagnosis results in better treatment outcomes, which result in an improved quality of life.
• Raising standards of care.  Programs providing services to individuals with a dual diagnosis (IDD/MI) seek accreditation from NADD.  Clinicians and Direct Support Professionals seek competency-based certification from NADD.
• Offering high quality training opportunities and instructional materials. Through the dissemination of cutting edge knowledge NADD has been influential in the development of appropriate community based policies, programs, and opportunities for individuals with IDD.
