Establishes Train the Trainer Program for Student Wellbeing in DOE; appropriates $1 million.
S 1466 creates a Train the Trainer Program within New Jersey's Department of Education to improve student mental health support in public schools. The program trains school staff to lead evidence-based workshops for teachers on topics like trauma-informed approaches, recognizing behavioral health challenges, restorative practices, and crisis de-escalation. It appropriates $1 million from the General Fund for implementation and requires annual evaluations, with a legislative report due after three years. Participation by school districts is voluntary, and the program focuses on providing staff with tools to foster positive school climates and support student wellbeing.
