Establishes Statewide program to provide treatment services for children exposed to domestic violence.
Bill A952 requires New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) to create a statewide program providing therapeutic treatment, counseling, and support services for children and their families exposed to domestic violence. The bill directs DCF to award grants to treatment providers, assign staff to support program implementation across the state, and monitor participating organizations through detailed record-keeping. DCF must also collect data on program participation and effectiveness, reporting annually to the Governor and Legislature on counties/municipalities using the program, participant numbers, and outcomes. Funding for the program would come from the General Fund through annual appropriations. This bill directly affects children and families impacted by domestic violence, aiming to expand access to evidence-based support services.
