We believe the time is now to join together to challenge tradition and to promote and expand citizen directed services and supports in New Jersey.
If you believe, as we do, that every person has the inherent right to determine the course of her life, then please consider this invitation to help shape a new and different statewide membership association. Already incorporated as the Collaborative for Citizen Directed Supports New Jersey, we are seeking organizations committed in purpose or in promise to the provision of conflict free individualized supports coordination services.
As a member of the Collaborative, your organization will gain and give information, guidance and support necessary to then best assist those you are working for, and to maintain compliance with all applicable policies, regulations and rules. Together, we will influence public policy alongside existing provider associations; facilitate learning opportunities through personal and group training sessions, webinars and conferences. Most importantly, we will offer technical assistance in best practices in areas of person centered approaches, planning facilitation and Medicaid compliance, including billing and finances.
