National Guardianship Association

The National Guardianship Association (NGA) is a professional organization in the United States that supports guardians and conservators who assist individuals unable to make decisions for themselves, often due to age, illness, or disability. The NGA promotes best practices, provides educational resources, and develops standards for guardianship to ensure quality care and ethical decision-making. It also advocates for policy reform to protect the rights and welfare of those under guardianship. Essentially, the NGA works to enhance the professional practice of guardianship, ensuring individuals receive the support they need while respecting their dignity and autonomy.
