June 30, 2023. “NJ Senate and Assembly Pass Legislation Creating a Mental Health Diversion Program in Line with NJPA’s Position”
The New Jersey Psychiatric Association applauds the New Jersey Senate and Assembly for taking swift final action on a measure to move individuals in mental health crisis away from the criminal justice system and into appropriate treatment and follow-up case management services. The measure is consistent with the NJPA Position Statement on Mental Health Diversion Programs approved by the NJPA Board in September 2022.
