Establishes brain injury screening and education program in DCF.

This bill creates a mandatory brain injury screening and education program within New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) for children and young adults aged 5-21 involved with or at risk of involvement in the state's mental health or juvenile justice systems. The program requires DCF to implement validated screening tools to identify brain injury history, provide foundational training for educators, law enforcement, health providers, and DCF staff, and share resources on brain injury links to juvenile delinquency and mental health. It also mandates outreach to parents, schools, clinics, and community organizations about available treatment services, with annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on program effectiveness. The initiative aims to prevent unnecessary psychiatric hospital admissions and reduce juvenile recidivism through early detection and targeted support.
