This bill mandates that emergency departments in general hospitals in New Jersey provide specific information to the parents or guardians of children who arrive experiencing a mental health crisis. The required information includes details about care management organizations, specifically their contact information, to assist families in accessing necessary support services.
Additionally, the bill defines a "care management organization" as a county-based, nonprofit entity that offers face-to-face care management for youth with complex needs and their families. The legislation is set to take effect 90 days after its enactment.
