A 2151 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Human Services to create a public awareness campaign about mental health resources for first responders, healthcare workers, frontline workers, and their families affected by pandemic-related stress. The campaign will provide information on available services for conditions like PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders through TV, radio, print media, and NJ Transit ads in English and Spanish. It specifically details existing resources, a dedicated helpline, and stress-management strategies. The initiative targets both affected workers and the general public to improve access to mental health support developed during the pandemic.
