Our Core Values
What NASC Stands For
Every Initiative, resource, and program we offer is grounded in these core values used to shape the profession of Support Coordination
Unconditional Valuing
Every person — support coordinator and individual supported alike — possesses inherent dignity that is non-conditional and non-negotiable
Relational Practice
Meaningful outcomes emerge from relationships of trust, not transactions of compliance.
Systems-Age Thinking
Bureaucratic machine-age structures are fundamentally incompatible with person-centered support coordination.
Professional Excellence
Support coordination is a distinct, rigorous profession demanding recognition, standards, continuous learning, and a national voice
Sustained Presence
Support coordination is longitudinal, not episodic
