Establishes public awareness campaign concerning programs and services for first responders, healthcare workers, other frontline workers, and their families experiencing mental health issues related to COVID-19 pandemic.
New Jersey's S 813 requires the Commissioner of Human Services to create a public awareness campaign targeting first responders, healthcare workers, other frontline workers, and their families experiencing pandemic-related mental health challenges like PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The campaign must inform the public about available mental health resources, including state programs, federal/local services, a dedicated helpline, and stress management strategies. It will use multiple channels - TV, radio, print, websites, and NJ Transit ads in English/Spanish - to share this information. The bill directly affects frontline workers and their families by improving access to existing mental health support services.
