Steve Hirsch brings a unique combination of clinical expertise and technology leadership to his role at NJAMHAA. His behavioral health experience includes more than 25 years as a psychiatric screener, serving as a program evaluator for a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) expansion grant, and directing Social Services at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital. He also managed the State Targeted Opioid Response Initiative (STORI) for the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services, now known as the State Opioid Response (SOR) grant.
In the late 1990s, Steve brought his skills to News Digital Media, supporting the network and staff behind web content for Fox Television, Fox Sports, and Fox News. He helped plan and build a new office, designed its network infrastructure, and supported more than 100 employees. The office was later featured in the first three episodes of 24.
With an undergraduate degree in psychology, an MBA, an MSW, and licensure as a social worker, Steve bridges technology and behavioral healthcare to support practical innovation, organizational effectiveness, and NJAMHAA’s mission.
