NICOA Compass: A Guide to Native Wellness
We care about your wellness and we want to help you to understand what CoC is, and how you and your community can benefit from it.
This project has been funded by a generous gift from the Mackenzie Scott Foundation
What is Continuum of Care?
CoC (Continuum of Care) acknowledges the broad expanse of a person’s existence. All parts of the individual’s journey through life are interdependent and include their physical, mental, social, and spiritual wellbeing. NICOA’s role is to respond to the whole person and their needs and ensure that all parts of their being are addressed. Moreover, this concept embraces the American Indian approach to addressing the whole person — whether well or disabled.
DISCLAIMER: CoC (Continuum of Care) is an alternative term for LTSS (Long Term Services and Support). Please note that not all instances of LTSS have been transitioned to the new designation.
The Continuum of Care Compass is a good place to start
The compass is a great place to start to your CoC journey. You can Learn About CoC, Find CoC Services, look through the Tribal Leader Resources, learn about Policies and Community Resources as well.
