May is Foster Care Awareness Month 💙 Every child deserves safety, stability, and the chance to thrive. Across our communities, foster parents and providers play a critical role in supporting children and families during times of transition and healing. This month, we’re proud to recognize the impact of foster care and the importance of trauma-informed, compassionate support for youth and caregivers alike. #FosterCareAwarenessMonth #SupportFamilies #TraumaInformedCare ...

What a joyful morning at our Annual Hickey Day Sing‑along! 💙 On May 7, the children and staff at Astor’s Lawrence F. Hickey Center for Child Development filled the room with songs, giggles, and smiles as we honored Mr. Hickey’s lasting legacy. We were especially delighted to welcome Mr. Hickey’s family and share this special Spirit Week tradition together. His spirit was alive and well in the faces of our students, and we were so grateful to celebrate—and showcase all the exciting things happening at the school—with our wonderful community. ...

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

Astor Services is proud to partner with @luckyorphanshorses in Dover Plains, NY, to offer a Youth Equine Assisted Program for Dutchess County youth ages 15-17.

From July 8 - August 5, participants will engage in eight therapeutic, ground-based sessions led by certified equine-assisted learning professionals. Through gentle interaction with rescued horses - such as grooming, leading, barn chores, and guided reflection - youth build emotional regulation, confidence, communication, and resilience in a calm, screen-free setting.

With your support toward our $5,000 goal, you help create healing, growth, and brighter futures for the youth who need it most.

Thank you for being a part of the Astor community. 💙
