Support Access to Mental Health Care for New Jersey’s Healthcare Workforce

New Jersey’s health workers deserve the right to pursue mental health care without fear of losing their job. However, overly invasive, stigmatizing mental health questions in licensing applications prevent them from seeking support and increase the risk of suicide.

Together, we can ensure that health workers receive the support they deserve, unburdened by the fear of professional consequences.

A2289 / S2635 seek to ensure mental health care privacy and protections for all New Jersey’s licensed healthcare professionals. This vital legislation ensures that health workers are not asked questions about mental health prevention, diagnosis, and treatments of mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and other related conditions.
