Emergency Preparedness Toolkit

To support agencies serving vulnerable populations, The Network’s Center for Innovation and Research (NCIR) created an Emergency Preparedness Toolkit—a resource to help member organizations plan ahead, respond effectively, and reduce workplace trauma during crises.

Developed with input from over 15 member agencies and external partners, the Toolkit incorporates lessons from COVID, wildfires, hurricanes, mass shootings, and more. It’s designed as a customizable workbook—not a one-size-fits-all guide—offering practical tools, planning prompts, and real-world examples.

BeWell

BeWell is a collaborative initiative between the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies (The Network) and the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), dedicated to addressing the mental health crisis among Jewish youth aged 12 to 26. By focusing on both prevention and intervention, BeWell equips communities with the tools, training, and support needed to foster resilience and well-being in young people.

Central to BeWell’s approach are the local Resiliency Roundtables, which convene clinicians, youth professionals, and community members to share best practices and strategize on addressing youth mental health challenges.
