The resolution designates the fourth Wednesday in May of each year as Crisis Professionals Day in New Jersey. This day aims to recognize and honor the vital role that crisis professionals play in supporting individuals during their most vulnerable moments, often stemming from illness and trauma. These trained professionals utilize empathetic and supportive methods to deescalate crises, assess situations, and implement care strategies that help individuals and families access the treatment and support they need.

The resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing Crisis Professionals Day and encourages public officials and citizens to observe the day with appropriate activities and programs. By establishing this day, the resolution highlights the life-changing and lifesaving contributions of crisis professionals to the mental health and well-being of New Jerseyans, acknowledging their significant impact on communities throughout the state.
