About

Astor Services for Children & Families is a pioneering community-based non-profit organization that has profoundly impacted the mental health and welfare of children and families in New York. Founded in 1953, Astor is committed to providing comprehensive services that address the unique needs of children facing emotional, behavioral challenges and their families. With over seven decades of experience, Astor has developed a unique approach that integrates children's mental health services, child welfare, and early childhood development programs tailored to empower families across the Mid-Hudson Valley and the Bronx. Astor's philosophy of care emphasizes holistic, family-driven, strengths-based, and data-informed strategies. Our dedicated staff of therapists, psychiatrists, educators, and child-care workers work collaboratively with families to foster resilience and promote lasting change. Through innovative programming and community support, Astor provides essential mental health services to thousands of children each year, ensuring that no child is denied access to necessary assistance based on their ability to pay. The organization’s commitment to excellence is evident in its diverse offerings, which include early intervention, residential treatment, school-based support, and outpatient services aimed at building a brighter future for at-risk youth. By investing in the futures of children and families, Astor Services is not just delivering care; we are creating pathways to hope and healing.
