The Warren County Board of County Commissioners, in partnership with the Warren County Department of Human Services and the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office, will host the 2026 Health & Wellness Field Day on May 1 at 6 p.m. at the Warren County Technical School, 1500 NJ-57, Washington (Franklin Township).
This free event is open to all Warren County residents and is designed to promote both mental and physical well-being through a range of interactive and community-based activities.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities led by local organizations, connecting residents with services and resources that support overall wellness.
The event will also feature a friendly volleyball tournament, bringing together middle and high school students with local law enforcement in a collaborative and engaging setting. Additional activities will include food, music, a photo booth, and prize giveaways, creating a welcoming environment for individuals and families of all ages.
This event is made possible through the continued support of school superintendents, law enforcement agencies across the county, local mental health providers, healthcare facilities, and other community partners.
Originally introduced in 2020 by former Assistant Prosecutor Kelly Shelton, the Health & Wellness Field Day was developed in response to growing concerns surrounding mental health, particularly among youth. In the years following the pandemic, challenges related to stress, anxiety, and depression have remained a priority for community leaders and service providers.
The 2026 Health & Wellness Field Day is funded, in part, by the Office of the Attorney General through the ARRIVE Together Grant, which supports the continuation, expansion, and countywide integration of the ARRIVE Together program. ARRIVE Together is a public safety initiative that pairs law enforcement officers with mental health professionals when responding to individuals in crisis. In Warren County, the program has been developed to meet local needs and includes on-scene response, follow-up support, and the use of telehealth services to expand access to care.
This event continues to serve as a platform to raise awareness, strengthen community connections, and provide residents with access to meaningful resources and support. Warren County Prosecutor Jessica L. Cardone stated, “We look forward to this event each year, and it continues to grow in meaningful ways. The collaboration among law enforcement, county departments, and mental health providers is strong. What stands out most is how the community comes together to build trust, break down barriers, and create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome.”
“It has been wonderful to see how this event has grown in its reach and popularity” Commissioner Director Lori Ciesla said, adding “Our goal is to connect our county students with our law-enforcement officers to build relationships and also let the residents of Warren County know of all the amazing organizations that exist for them. Health and wellness for our residents of all ages is a huge priority and I thank Laura Richter from the Department of Human Services, our Prosecutor Jessica Cardone, and everyone else that has been part of the planning for this event for making sure that it is a success year after year. It is also great to see our Warren County Technical School host the event again this year. Put it on your calendar and hope to see you there!”
