Resources For Families

The Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund (CICRF) is a financial resource to help New Jersey families, regardless of income, cope with medical expenses for their children that are not fully covered by insurance, state or federal programs, or any other source, such as fundraising. The Fund provides a financial safety net to families struggling with a child’s previously incurred medical expenses. The definition of a catastrophic illness in this program is economic and is measured in terms of the financial impact of health care expenses on the family, rather than on the diagnosis or severity of the illness.

NJAMHAA represents 164 organizations that collectively provide the full continuum of behavioral healthcare services, including hospital-based and freestanding agencies that offer all types of services in various settings for children and adults with mental illnesses, substance use disorders (SUD), intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD), co-occurring health conditions and other challenging life situations, such as unemployment and lack of housing.

The Division oversees New Jersey's adult system of community-based behavioral health services. These agencies provide a full array of services, including substance use prevention and early intervention, emergency screening, outpatient and intensive outpatient mental health and addictions services, partial care and partial hospitalization, case management, medication assisted treatment for substance use, and long and short term mental health and substance use residential services, in addition to other evidence-based practices such as the Program for Assertive Community Treatment (PACT), supported employment and education, and supportive housing.
