Overview
This bill establishes a brain injury screening and education program within the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF). The program aims to identify children and young adults (ages 5-21) with brain injuries who may be involved with the state’s mental health or juvenile justice systems, and to educate various stakeholders – including parents, educators, and healthcare providers – about brain injury and available treatment options. It will also require the DCF to seek grant funding to support the program’s activities and to report annually on its effectiveness.
