SJR 131 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designating fourth Wednesday in May of each year as "Crisis Professionals Day."

This bill designates the fourth Wednesday in May each year as "Crisis Professionals Day" in New Jersey to honor the work of crisis professionals who support individuals experiencing mental health or behavioral health emergencies. The resolution requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing the day and encouraging public officials and citizens to observe it with appropriate activities and programs. This measure does not create new funding, change existing laws, or alter the duties of crisis professionals; it serves solely as a symbolic recognition of their role in providing behavioral health services and supporting vulnerable New Jersey residents.
