Advocacy & Policy


Advocacy/Issues

NJAMHAA consistently and effectively lobbies state and federal legislators on its members’ behalf. When our members and other stakeholders lend their voices to our efforts, our chances for success increase exponentially as our collective voice grows louder.

NJAMHAA was honored by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing (formerly the National Council for Behavioral Health) with the Advocacy Leadership Award for Organizational Excellence in June 2020.
