What’s new in 2025 (good to know before you start)

  • NJ is “carving in” more behavioral health under managed care. Phase 1 of Behavioral Health Integration under NJ FamilyCare went live on January 1, 2025, with more phases coming. That means your Medicaid MCO is increasingly the single point for physical and mental health benefits and provider networks. If you’re enrolled, call your plan for in‑network mental health providers. DMHAS BH Integration overview and member resources. (nj.gov)
  • NJ codified 12‑month Medicaid postpartum coverage. Legislation reported March 17, 2025 confirms Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare covers pregnant individuals for 365 days postpartum. Assembly Aging & Human Services Statement to S‑3934 (3/17/2025). (pub.njleg.state.nj.us)
  • NJ and DOH announced a proposed integrated outpatient license to let clinics offer primary care + mental health + addiction services under one roof, aiming to simplify access. NJDOH 4/2/2025 release and NJ DHS 4/2/2025. (nj.gov)

Start Here: If you need help today

  • If you’re in immediate danger or at risk of harming yourself: call 988 or go to the nearest ER. 988 connects you to trained counselors; New Jersey funds in‑state coverage and is building out mobile crisis and stabilization centers. NJ 988 overview. (nj.gov)
  • If you feel unsafe at home: call the NJ Domestic Violence Hotline 800‑572‑SAFE (7233) or NJCASA 800‑601‑7200 for sexual assault support. Both are 24/7 and confidential. NJ DCF Domestic Violence Hotlines; NJCASA Find Help. (nj.gov, njcasa.org)
  • If you’re overwhelmed but not in immediate danger: call NJ Mental Health Cares 866‑202‑4357 for referrals to low‑cost counseling, support groups, and state‑funded community services. NJMHC Contact & hours. (njmentalhealthcares.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work

  • Try a county psychiatric screening center (24/7) from the tables below for same‑day evaluation.
  • If lines are busy, call 988 and ask for local resources; counselors can warm‑transfer you.
  • If you have insurance through NJ FamilyCare, call your plan’s member services for an in‑network therapist and ask about telehealth same‑week options. BH Integration in 2025 means more mental health services are handled directly by your MCO. BH Integration member info. (nj.gov)

Insurance That Pays for Mental Health Care: NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid/CHIP)

Most single moms qualify for free or low‑cost coverage through NJ FamilyCare. Here’s who qualifies in 2025 and how to apply.

Who qualifies in 2025 (income limits)

Table: 2025 income guide (monthly), calculated from official 2025 FPL and state rules

Household Adults 138% FPL Pregnant 205% FPL Child Medicaid ≤147% FPL Child CHIP ≤355% FPL
1 $1,800/mo (state example) $2,674/mo $1,919/mo $4,629/mo
2 **2,432/mo∗∗(calc≈2,432/mo** (calc ≈ 29,187/yr) $3,609/mo $2,589/mo $6,253/mo

Notes:

  • Adult monthly figures in bold for 1 and 4 equal NJ DHS examples; other rows are computed from the official annual limits used by Legal Services of NJ for 2025 (rounded to nearest dollar). LSNJ 2025 NJ FamilyCare income levels. 2025 FPL source: HHS/ASPE. (lsnjlaw.org, aspe.hhs.gov)
  • Pregnant 205% monthly limits are calculated from 2025 FPL; policy basis (205%) cited above. (nj.gov)
  • Children’s thresholds (147%/355%) and “no CHIP premiums” come from NJ DHS/Cover All Kids. (njfamilycare.dhs.state.nj.us, nj.gov)

How to apply fast

Documents you’ll likely need (keep these ready)

  • Photo ID, proof of NJ residency, Social Security numbers (if available), immigration status (if any), proof of income (recent pay stubs, self‑employment), pregnancy confirmation if applying as pregnant, and existing insurance info if any. See the Application Checklist on the NJ FamilyCare site. Apply page (Checklist linked). (njfamilycare.dhs.state.nj.us)

Timelines and what to expect

  • State rules call for an application decision within 30 days for most NJ FamilyCare applications and 90 days if it’s based on disability. For the Children’s Program (CHIP/Medicaid for kids), the Admin Code also sets 30 days. (Real‑world processing can run longer if documents are missing—see mistakes section.) [NJ Admin. Code 10:78‑2.1; 10:79‑2.3]. (casetext.com)

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Forgetting to upload income proof and ID—this is the #1 delay.
  • Not reporting pregnancy on an existing case (you may gain extra benefits and 12‑month postpartum coverage).
  • Missing mail from your MCO (network assignment letters/ID cards). Use the portal to track status.

What to do if this doesn’t work

  • Call 800‑701‑0710 and ask a Health Benefits Coordinator to review your application for missing items.
  • If denied, request a written notice and appeal rights; consider calling Legal Services of NJ for free advice: 888‑576‑5529. LSNJ. (lsnjlaw.org)
  • While waiting, use a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) for sliding‑fee counseling and primary care; search by county on NJDOH’s site. FQHC locator. (nj.gov)

For Your Child or Teen: Children’s System of Care (CSOC)

Most important action: Call PerformCare at 877‑652‑7624 any time. You’ll complete intake, and if urgent, Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) can come to your home—goal is within 1 hour—and provide up to 8 weeks of stabilization services. PerformCare emergency services/MRSS. (performcarenj.org)

  • Who’s eligible: Youth typically ages 5–21 (under 21st birthday) with emotional/behavioral health needs; special consideration for under 5. Services are authorized without regard to income or insurance, though you’ll be asked to complete a Medicaid application as part of care coordination. PerformCare eligibility; DCF CSOC overview. (performcarenj.org, nj.gov)
  • After crisis: Depending on needs, families may be connected to a Care Management Organization (CMO) and your county Family Support Organization (peer support for caregivers). Find statewide FSO info here. NJ Alliance of Family Support Organizations. (njfamilyalliance.org)

Required documents

  • Insurance (if any), youth’s info (DOB, address), and a short description of current concerns.

Realistic timeline

  • Phone intake immediately; MRSS same‑day when authorized; ongoing care management can take several days to weeks to line up providers.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Waiting for an appointment while your child escalates; call MRSS if urgency increases.
  • Not answering unknown numbers after intake—CMO and providers may call from different lines.

What to do if this doesn’t work

  • Use your county psychiatric screening center (see tables) if risk rises.
  • If you have private insurance, also ask your plan for an in‑network child therapist while CSOC starts up.

Adult Outpatient Care and Family Supports

Start with the easiest doors:

  • NJ Mental Health Cares 866‑202‑4357 can search the state‑funded directory and warm‑transfer you to providers. About NJMHC. (njmentalhealthcares.org)
  • DMHAS online directories list state‑funded mental health programs by county and program type. DMHAS treatment directories and hotlines page. (nj.gov)
  • NAMI New Jersey Helpline 866‑626‑4664 (M–F, 9–4) offers peer support, support group info, and navigation tips for families. NAMI NJ Helpline. (naminj.org)
  • Intensive Family Support Services (IFSS): Free support/education for families of adults with serious mental illness—available in every county, funded by NJ DMHAS (delivered by local nonprofits). See county contacts (e.g., Union County via MHANJ, Monmouth via MHAMC). NAMI NJ IFSS directory. (naminj.org)

Low‑cost clinics (sliding fee)

What insurance covers

  • NJ FamilyCare covers mental health and substance use care. In 2025, NJ is integrating more behavioral health into MCOs—use your plan’s provider search or call for help finding a therapist. DMHAS BH Integration. (nj.gov)

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Calling only one clinic; put in multiple intake requests.
  • Skipping FQHCs—many have counseling and psychiatry with shorter waits.
  • Not asking about telehealth or audio‑only options if transportation or childcare is an issue. (NJ state policy has supported parity for behavioral health telehealth; always verify your plan’s current rules.) Governor’s telehealth parity release 12/22/2021. (nj.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

  • Call NJ Mental Health Cares to identify another provider or ask for a warm transfer.
  • If symptoms worsen, call 988 or your county screening center for 24/7 crisis evaluation.

Postpartum and Maternal Mental Health

Most important action: If you’re pregnant or within a year after delivery and feel depressed, anxious, panicky, or not yourself, call 800‑328‑3838 (NJ Family Health Line) for guidance, support groups, and referrals. NJDOH PMAD page. (nj.gov)

  • National Maternal Mental Health Hotline (24/7, English/Spanish with interpreters): 833‑TLC‑MAMA (833‑852‑6262) (call or text). HRSA Hotline FAQ. (mchb.hrsa.gov)
  • Insurance note: NJ FamilyCare covers pregnancy and 12 months postpartum; in 2025 the 12‑month coverage is codified. If you become pregnant while enrolled, notify NJ FamilyCare immediately to unlock pregnancy/postpartum benefits. NJ DHS pregnancy coverage page; 12 months postpartum; S‑3934 3/17/2025 statement. (nj.gov, pub.njleg.state.nj.us)
  • Local perinatal connections by county: Call your county’s “Connecting NJ” number to get linked to maternal health and mental health services, home visiting, and supports. (Examples: Bergen 973‑942‑3630 x11, Hudson 201‑876‑8900 x221, Mercer/Middlesex/Somerset/Hunterdon 888‑551‑6217, Monmouth/Ocean 877‑352‑7843.) Connecting NJ county list. (nj.gov)

Realistic timeline

  • Hotline support is immediate; outpatient therapy scheduling depends on clinic capacity (often 1–3 weeks). Use telehealth to reduce wait times.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Waiting until after delivery to ask for help—call during pregnancy if you’re struggling.
  • Stopping meds suddenly; always speak with your prescriber about pregnancy/postpartum‑safe options.

What to do if this doesn’t work

  • Call 988 for urgent support. If you’re in severe distress or experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, go to an ER or call your county screening center (numbers below) for emergency evaluation.

We added verified dollar amounts, phone numbers, county lines, and step‑by‑steps with Plan B options and checklists to address those gaps.
