“Thank you, Mr. O and Will, for what you have taught me. I have learned a lot, such as respect from you guys. I have noticed a change in me in a good way, and that is because of you guys. Thank you so much.”

“My school recently began using NJ4S last school year and I can honestly say it has been a phenomenal resource for our students. Students whom I have personally referred to this program have made tremendous progress in their mental wellness goals and have spoken highly of their counselors whom they worked alongside. The process to refer has been seamless (we’ve utilized both paper and now digital referrals) and the follow up has been almost immediate. Social Workers are in high demand during times like what we are experiencing now, and it is challenging at times to give every student in a large high school that one-on-one attention that they deserve. Having it feel like a team effort to service our students is a joy, because at the end of the day, our students see the results. I can’t recommend enough NJ4S-Essex and its services and workers. Thank you for everything that you do! Finally, shoutout to Sheila Medina! She’s amazing and my students adore her!”

“It was an informative presentation! The students received valuable information! Would love for your facilitators to present during the week of Teen Dating Violence Awareness month in February.

Thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication. Your commitment continues to make a meaningful impact on our Essex County youth. Keep up the great work, and your efforts are truly appreciated!”

“I want to express my gratitude for this morning’s information session. It was extremely informative, and the presentation enhanced my understanding of everything NJ4S-Essex offers. In the past, I have utilized NJ4S-Essex for vaping and career presentations, and I enjoyed each one. I am excited and intrigued by the range of services available to support my scholars and their families. Organizations like yours play a crucial role in providing essential resources to our community, especially in underserved areas. Thank you, Ms. Desanges, for inviting me today, and thank you, Mr. Hyppolite, for assisting me in regaining access to my Salesforce account. Your efforts are truly appreciated!”

“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for reaching out and presenting this wonderful opportunity for my scholars. Your thoughtfulness means a lot to us, and I truly appreciate your patience throughout this process. I have completed the form and sincerely hope we can bring this event to our school. We are so thankful for the invaluable services that Family Connections’ NJ4S-Essex provides to our community.”

“I wanted to extend a sincere thank you for providing such an amazing and interactive workshop for our preschool program families last night at Montrose. It was great to see how our families received the suggestions and strategies presented. Matt Blackwell and Nadine Etienne are phenomenal in how they engage and share information with families.

I look forward to working with them in the future.”
