Requires annual suicide prevention training for mental health practitioners.

This bill requires licensed mental health practitioners in New Jersey to complete two hours of annual suicide prevention training. It directly affects clinical social workers, therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychoanalysts licensed under Title 45 of New Jersey law. Practitioners must complete approved training covering suicide prevention, assessment, and management, then submit proof of completion to their state licensing board. The Division of Consumer Affairs will maintain a list of approved training programs, including those from nationally recognized organizations like the Suicide Prevention Resource Center.
