NFSB'S COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH NUTLEY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Nutley Family Service Bureau (NFSB) has enjoyed a long, mutually beneficial partnership with Nutley Public Schools, providing students, families, and staff with valuable resources right in their own backyard.

“I think it’s very reassuring for the schools to know we’re here for them and can help at a moment’s notice,” said Staela Keegan, MSW, LCSW, LCADC, Clinical Director at NFSB. “It’s a very collaborative relationship, whether the schools seek our feedback on certain programs, refer students for counseling, or need assistance during a crisis.”

POWER OF PEACE GROUP PROGRAM MAKES CONNECTIONS WITH YOUNG STUDENTS
Since the pandemic, many school systems have made social-emotional learning a higher priority to help children process what’s happening, learn self-regulation and conflict resolution, and become more resilient. Recognizing this need, Nutley Family Service Bureau (NFSB) introduced the POWER of PEACE Program for elementary-aged students.

PEACE is an acronym for positivity, encouragement, attention, control, and empathy. NFSB offers three separate groups for first and second graders, third and fourth graders, and fifth and sixth graders. As we say during our meetings, each group has POWER, another acronym that is key to unlocking the group’s potential.
