First lady Jill Biden and dozens of the nation’s governors are in Atlantic City for the annual summer meeting of the National Governors Association, the first time the event is being held in New Jersey in more than 30 years.

On Thursday, the second day of the two-day conference, Gov. Phil Murphy led a session on the youth mental health crisis, and laid out a strategy to tackle it. This focused on early intervention, reducing stigma and increasing access to mental health services.
