NETTalk: National Member Spotlight – Footsteps

Footsteps is the only organization in the United States providing comprehensive services to people who have chosen to leave their ultra-Orthodox communities and begin new lives. Based in New York, Footsteps provides a range of services, including social and emotional support, educational and career guidance, workshops and social activities, and access to resources. Thanks to Footsteps, former ultra-Orthodox Jews have a safe, supportive, and flourishing community to turn to as they work to define their own identities, build new connections, and lead productive lives on their own terms.

New National Guidelines for Youth Mental Health Crisis Care

SAMHSA released a new report outlining core principles and components of crisis response for children, youth, and families. National Guidelines for Child and Youth Behavioral Health Crisis Care discusses the urgent need to address and improve crisis response for these populations and provides best practices, implementation strategies, and practical guidance. The Report highlights core principles in addressing youth crisis care, including addressing recovery needs, trauma-informed care, the role for peers, safety and security for staff and people in crisis, and more. Additionally, SAMHSA provides guidance on the needs of special populations and key systems of care partners, which may help providers coordinate and collaborate to expand access to care.
