A 2355 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Train the Trainer Program for Student Wellbeing in DOE; appropriates $1 million.

This bill establishes a Train the Trainer Program for Student Wellbeing within New Jersey's Department of Education, appropriating $1 million from the General Fund. It requires the Department to develop training that educates selected participants to teach public school staff about student behavioral and mental health, covering trauma-informed approaches, recognizing mental health challenges, restorative practices, social-emotional health, bystander intervention, and crisis de-escalation. School districts are not required to participate, and the program must be evaluated annually with a full report to the Governor and Legislature after three years. The program will provide evidence-based training to help schools address student mental health needs through staff education.
