Makes $250,000 supplemental appropriation to New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome and Associated Disorders for pediatric clinical services at Tourette Syndrome Clinic of Rutgers University.
Impact
The supplemental funding will support the clinic's ability to provide vital health services to children, including psychological assessments, social-emotional skills groups, and individual and family therapy. This is particularly significant given that statistics from the CDC indicate that one out of every 50 children between the ages of five and 14 have a persistent tic disorder, highlighting the need for dedicated services in this area. By augmenting the financial resources available to the clinic, A3602 intends to enhance the overall capacity to serve affected families and facilitate access to mental health care for youth.
