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

SJR 66 designates the fourth Wednesday in May each year as "Crisis Professionals Day" in New Jersey to recognize crisis professionals who support individuals during mental health emergencies. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance of the day, honoring professionals who de-escalate crises using empathy and support. It does not create new laws, funding, or obligations - it is a symbolic gesture of appreciation for crisis professionals' work. This resolution directly affects crisis professionals statewide, acknowledging their role in providing life-saving mental health support during vulnerable moments. The bill passed committee and was substituted in May 2024, but remains a ceremonial designation without binding policy changes.
