Information, Referrals and Advocacy  

One of NDAD’s goals is to assist people in receiving help through other agencies whenever possible. Often, those who need assistance are not aware of available services or don’t know how to gain access.  NDAD’s client representatives make every effort to ensure they receive services to which they are entitled from the appropriate agency.  Learn how >>
