Northeast Treatment Services (NETS) Day Treatment program serves youth who have mental health needs that cannot be successfully treated in weekly psychotherapy visits, but don’t need intensive outpatient programming or the short-term stabilization of a hospital inpatient setting. NETS youth receive longer-term intensive healing support but can remain in their homes and communities while accessing a broad range of services. Day treatment also offers an alternative to residential treatment, which removes youth from their family and community. Most youth that come to our day treatment services face many obstacles, often reporting upwards of seven or eight significant life traumas. They may hold all of that suffering in, or they may push it out into the world through unhealthy coping or harmful behaviors. At NYFS, our day treatment team wants to help these youth every moment that they are with us for services, to learn a better way of engaging their emotions and their relationships so that when they really start to feel better — they have the tools they need to succeed outside of NYFS. NYFS’s day treatment services are unique, and so much of this is due to our exceptional team. “As a team we are a cohesive unit. Built on trust,” says NETS Therapist LaTarsha Bronaugh. “We strive to be open, understanding, flexible and give one another grace. That transforms into putting client and family needs at the center of their healing journey while at NETS.” Similar programs are known for being a training site for new mental health providers — resulting in high turnover of staff. At NYFS, we average 8-10 years on the day treatment team, some staff working in the program for more than 20 years. They have a wealth of experience and a beautiful rhythm in the work together — doing so in compassionate, creative, and intuitive ways. This translates directly to the care they provide. There isn’t a crisis they can’t handle or a youth with whom at least one of them can connect. They provide seamless trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. 6 WE HAVE HEART — 2021-2022 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY Northeast Treatment Services (NETS) Day Treatment Program Intuitive Team-Based Care “With this team, no challenge ever feels insurmountable.
