The Value Of NASCOD
NASCOD is the only national association specifically designed for and run by directors and managers of Crisis Organizations.
It is a unique resource, a network through which members can support one another, can build their management skills and can provide an independent “national voice” for the profession.
NASCOD is broadly inclusive of the call center field.
NASCOD is open to directors and other managers in call centers of all sizes and configurations so long as they include crisis support as part of their mission. Thus, it can bring together professionals from the widest variety of mental health-related call centers, specialized information and referral agencies and 2-1-1s. That breadth enables extensive communication and learning across the field, rather than within narrower silos.
Our conferences and services are catered to you.
Unlike in other national associations, where professional development opportunities and resources for directors and managers are too often an “add-on,” NASCOD’s conferences and services are designed by its members to respond to the needs of its members as identified by the membership.
We are a national voice for our membership.
NASCOD is the place that directors and managers of crisis organizations come together to identify the issues that are most critical to them, to define their shared response and to speak together to other national associations, public sector agencies and funders.
We offer professional and personal support to our members.
NASCOD is a network – it is designed to draw on the strengths of its members and to serve as a vehicle through which they can support one another. In a rapidly changing and challenging environment, it is critical that professionals have the opportunity to openly seek the support of peers in the safe, confidential environment that NASCOD provides.
