New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy Unveils Playbook for Governors to Address Nation's Youth Mental Health Crisis

Press Release

"America's youth mental health crisis is a complex issue that transcends both party and geographic lines. Over the past year, we have traveled across the country and spent countless hours meeting with those on the front lines -- young people, parents, caregivers, educators, and community leaders -- to discuss innovative approaches, thoughtful programs, and effective models for addressing youth mental health. Together, these form the basis of our Playbook that states, policymakers, and stakeholders can use to strengthen youth mental health across the country. The pages of this Playbook contain examples of successful policies and initiatives that use this all-hands approach to address youth mental health needs, and it is our hope that more states will implement similar policies to help our youth thrive."
