Choose How To Support NADD’s Ongoing Work
NADD has thrived because so many have generously offered their time, talent, and financial resources to support our mission.
Ways you may contribute financially to support NADD’s work:
The Annual Fund
Sets the course for NADD to maintain its mission to promote leadership in the expansion of knowledge, training, policy, and advocacy for mental health practices that promote a quality life for individuals with dual diagnosis (Intellectual/Developmental Disability with co-occurring Mental Health Condition) in their communities. The Annual Fund helps support NADD’s ongoing work, including credentialing programs, publishing, conferences, training, and advocacy for best practices to improve the lives of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and co-occurring mental health conditions.
The Joli Fletcher Tlalka Scholarship Fund
Enables NADD to financially assist Direct Support Professionals to attend and participate in NADD conferences where innovative information is available to assist them in providing care to individuals who have a dual diagnosis. This fund is named in memory of the daughter of NADD’s Founder, Robert J. Fletcher, who was a DSP supporting individuals with intellectual/developmental disability and co-occurring mental health needs.
The NADD Endowment Fund
Enables NADD to grow assets and meet future needs with strong investment oversight services, providing a permanent revenue source for NADD.
For over 40 years, 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/MI.
