One of the best ways to maximize your membership in NATSAP is to participate in one of our many committees addressing various needs of programs and professionals in our field. Our Committees can only benefit from the new ideas that representatives from our member programs bring. Committees include: Conference, Best Practice, Public & Government Relations, and Membership.
NATSAP seeks to align with various other like-minded organizations on a wide spectrum of issues and projects. We will continue to belong to various coalitions and will consider partnerships that provide a greater voice in issues of importance to our membership.
NATSAP has retained a professional public relations firm to help outside entities understand and appreciate the work our member programs do. A Public Relations Toolkit has been created to help member programs interface with the public in their local communities. Check out the member portal for the latest kit.
The Board has decided it is now time to push our efforts to the next level and make clear to consumers that not all programs are alike, and those who honestly examine their work, and contribute to the scholarly, professional, and practical understanding of the effects of our interventions deserve to be set apart and receive the proper recognition for their efforts. To this end the Board of NATSAP has established the new status of Research Designated Program to be given to programs that apply and demonstrate they are involved in supplying data that is aimed at evaluating NATSAP program effectiveness and increasing the understanding of our programs impact on youth and their families.
