The Mental Health Association in New Jersey (MHANJ) keeps people current on New Jersey’s behavioral health policies through our Cutting Edge Newsletter.
The Cutting Edge is MHANJ’s behavioral health policy newsletter. The GA team composes frequent Cutting Edge newsletters about current trends and legislative updates related to behavioral health care. We distribute our Cutting Edges to fellow advocates and supporters of behavioral health care and use them to lobby with state and local legislators about issues impacting access to and quality of behavioral health care across New Jersey.
