Requires emergency departments to provide certain information to parents of children experiencing a mental health crisis.
This bill requires emergency departments in New Jersey hospitals to provide parents or guardians with contact information for local care management organizations when a child presents with a mental health crisis. Care management organizations are defined as county-based, nonprofit groups that offer in-person support for youth with complex needs and their families. The law aims to connect families with community resources by mandating that hospitals share this information during emergency visits.
