Establishes Medication Management, Outreach, and Support Program in DHS; appropriates $8 million.
This bill establishes a Medication Management, Outreach, and Support Program within New Jersey's Department of Human Services to serve people with severe mental illness living in the community. It appropriates $8 million from the General Fund to fund licensed provider organizations (like community health centers) to offer medication management services, including early intervention, crisis support, and collaborative care planning with clinicians and families. The program requires providers to hire clinical staff (such as psychiatrists and social workers) to minimize medication side effects and improve health outcomes through continuous quality improvement. It directly affects community-based mental health service recipients and the providers delivering those services.
