Course Overview:
The NADA Protocol: A Non-Verbal Approach to Healing

1.) Identify feeling and symptoms of anxiety and depression NADA (no-nonsense, non-verbal, no-drugs, no barriers)

2.) Identify the craving process.

3.) Learn how to increase calmness, obtain better sleep, and experience less agitation

4.) Relief from stress and emotional trauma

The NADA protocol is ideally offered as a part of a comprehensive model of care.    Developed at Lincoln Hospital, the approach is known as the NADA model, which includes several components that made it an effective and economical system of care (Smith, 2010).

The model recognizes that not one single component of a comprehensive recovery or health program can be seen as a “cure” or “stand-alone” therapy for any condition. This assumption poses a challenge for researchers to isolate and determine the efficacy of the NADA protocol. As recent US Department of Justice and British Medical Journal publications have noted, the NADA protocol is best utilized as a component, not as an isolated function within community health programs (American University School of Public Affairs Justice Programs Office, 2011, Cowan, 2011).  Future research should take this into consideration.
