Care Plus NJ

Today, Care Plus NJ joins communities across the nation in recognizing Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and progress.

As we honor this important day, we also recognize the value of fair access to care, support, and opportunities that help individuals and communities thrive.

We remain committed to fostering welcoming communities where everyone feels supported and empowered on their journey toward wellness and recovery.

More young adults are recognizing when they need behavioral health support and taking steps to find it. That's encouraging progress.

But awareness alone isn't enough. Too many individuals still face barriers when trying to access care, from cost and wait times to transportation challenges and navigating a complex system.

Our Senior Vice President of CCBHC Strategies & Innovation, Ann Marie Zihal, explores what recent survey findings reveal about the growing demand for behavioral health services and why creating clear pathways to care must remain a priority.
