This Memorial Day, NJ4S Union remembers and honors the courageous individuals who gave their lives while serving our country.

As we gather with family, friends, and community, we take time to reflect on the meaning of this day and the sacrifices made for future generations. We wish everyone a safe, peaceful, and meaningful Memorial Day.

As Wellness Wonderland 2026 came to a close, the NJ4S Union Hub team ended the day with a heartfelt sendoff for one of our own, Briana Ampadu, whose final day with our team was spent doing what she always did best: showing up for young people and our community with kindness, energy, and care.

Briana has been an important part of NJ4S Union, bringing positivity, compassion, and dedication into every space she entered. From supporting youth and families to helping create meaningful community events like Wellness Wonderland, her impact will continue to be felt long after her last day.

We are so grateful for everything Briana brought to our team and wish her nothing but success, happiness, and new opportunities in this next chapter. Once NJ4S Union family, always NJ4S Union family.

At Westfield High School, NJ4S clinicians are embedded in the school community, showing up consistently to support students who need it most.

Through weekly, in-school sessions, students are given space to build trust, open up, and connect with someone who is truly in their corner. For many, this support is critical, especially for students who might not otherwise have access to outside therapy.

That connection strengthens the entire support system within the school. NJ4S clinicians work closely with staff, offering guidance, resources, and an added layer of consistency that helps schools better meet the needs of their students.

One counselor shared what this has meant for their school community:

“Shayla has worked tirelessly with some of my toughest students — the ones who really just needed someone extra in their corner.”

— Jilyan Lane-Cruz, Student Assistance Counselor, Westfield High School

At this middle school in Elizabeth Public Schools, NJ4S partnered with students and families to address real challenges: teen va**ng, school violence, and chronic absenteeism.
Through assemblies, small group programs like Brother2Brother and Sister2Sister, and targeted counseling and parent workshops, NJ4S created opportunities for students to learn, reflect, and make healthier choices early on.

The results have been clear: fewer cases of va**ng, a decrease in suspensions, and improved attendance across the school community.

For many students, it started with understanding.

One student shared:
“Thank you for helping me understand the effects of Va**ng. I honestly did not know how bad it is because my family members do it. Thank you so much.”
