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. 💙
