Gov. Phil Murphy's administration had proposed creating a statewide network of counselors outside school using money that has supported about 90 programs in middle and high schools.
It’s a victory for fierce supporters of the existing School-Based Youth Services — including high school graduates, educators, and state lawmakers — who argued the programs have provided a safe haven for troubled kids.
The state will expect more from the administrators of the existing programs, however. By July 1, they must follow new “standardized reporting requirements, monitoring requirements, and program expectations,” the announcement said. He added that “we’re going to be very comfortable funding the programs that exist already, but we’re also gonna implement that hub-and-spoke notion to cast that wider net.”
“At the same time, we should continue to pursue a statewide system so every child in the state has access to quality mental health services,” the lawmaker added. “The two can absolutely happen at the same time and I thank the Governor’s office for going in this direction.” “We encourage the Administration to build on the success of the existing School Based Youth Services programs, which has provided immediate and accessible care in schools for over three decades,” she said.
