Last week, incidents at our psychiatric hospitals produced a palpable reaction. Clearly, issues involving mental health are complex.    Across the continuum of mental illness, there is a wide range of diagnoses. In some cases court intervention is required. There is not a ‘one size fits all’ treatment, response or resolution to these situations. Anyone who has a friend, relative or co-worker who lives with depression, bipolar disorder or other forms of mental illness knows this to be true.   In our five psychiatric hospitals, we strive to provide a secure environment for our patients. We are dedicated to helping them pursue wellness and recovery – regardless of their diagnosis and/or previous criminal behavior. We also acknowledge that our facilities are as much a part of the department as they are a component of the community. As such, every effort is made to be good neighbors.   Without argument, I agree there is a very delicate balance that must be struck to honor public safety and patients’ rights. This equilibrium continues to be tested and reviewed but the goal must remain to provide equal attention to both. Our response to this incident calls for sensitivity to community concerns without labeling and stigmatizing all individuals living with mental illness. Therefore, as we use our recent experience to re-examine our staffing and security infrastructure, I caution all of us to be thoughtful and deliberate in our approach.   Finally, I’d like to thank the staff with the Division of Mental Health Services for their hard work and dedication. I’d also like to recognize the Human Services Police Department who very capably assisted with professional sensitivity and integrity. DIVISION NEWS Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS) Governor Jon S. Corzine sent a  HYPERLINK "http://www.state.nj.us/governor/news/news/approved/20070912b.html" letter to President Bush vowing to continue to enroll New Jersey children in the popular State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), FamilyCare, despite recent federal efforts to limit such enrollments. Corzine also said in his letter that he was prepared, if necessary, to pursue legal action to further the goal of protecting our most vulnerable children. Office of Public Affairs’ Community Outreach DHS collected 75 backpacks from participating employees in this year’s Back-to-School Backpack Drive. The annual event helps children served by  HYPERLINK "http://www.homefrontnj.org" HomeFront, an agency that provides services for homeless families in Mercer County. The backpacks are filled with school supplies, one outfit of clothing and gift certificates then distributed to children according to age. Division of Disability Services (DDS) Governor Corzine signed a  HYPERLINK "http://www.state.nj.us/governor/news/news/approved/20070912c.html" package of seven bills relating to autism spectrum disorders. These disorders are often characterized by substantial impairments in social interaction and communication and the presence of unusual behaviors and interests. The rate and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders in New Jersey is disproportionately high. While experts estimate the national rate has increased to about 1 in 150 children, the incidence in New Jersey is approximately 1 in 95. The Governor also signed  HYPERLINK "http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2006/Bills/S1000/810_I1.HTM" legislation that will ensure adequate parking for handicapped drivers by clarifying that penalties for illegally parking in handicapped spots are still in place, whether they are posted or not. DHS Office of Emergency Management (OEM) Continuing to share useful information for Emergency Preparedness Month OEM advises that the Department of Health and Senior Services together with the NJ Hospital Association has begun distributing  HYPERLINK "http://www.njha.com/publications/pdf/communication%20picture%20board%20for%20limited%20english%20proficiency%20patients.pdf" Communication Picture Boards to bridge communication gaps in times of disaster or other emergency situations. The picture boards are useful in cases where there may be a language barrier, a disability, trauma and/or confusion. Your comments and suggestions for content are welcome, as are constituent correspondences or inquiries.
