Overview
This bill creates a new pathway for licensing non-hospital based residential mental health treatment facilities in New Jersey. It aims to address a shortage of mental health professionals and reduce strain on hospital systems by allowing facilities to provide mid-to-long-term care, including medication management and trauma-informed therapies, for adolescents and adults. The bill also establishes a workforce development program to increase the number of licensed mental health professionals and ensures integration with existing mental health services.
