Abbott House Hope is Here. Our children and adolescents come from complex, often stressful environments that derail healthy development.

Abbott House builds lasting foundations for children, families, and adults with complex needs, and empowers them with opportunities for promising futures. Since 1963, Abbott House has built lasting foundations for children, adolescents and adults with complex needs throughout the Hudson Valley and New York metropolitan area. Our work builds durable foundations of skills and experiences that allow them to thrive as individuals, and become future contributors to our community as they come of age. Our adults with developmental disabilities have capacities and strengths often overlooked by their environments. Our work is to identify and build on their strengths, to have them create a strong sense of home, relationship to community, and a personal sense of accomplishment and contribution to others. Our own foundations are constructed on the work of highly skilled staff, community and corporate volunteers, and incredibly generous donors - all with a steadfast commitment to building vibrant futures for our children and adults

Thank you, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins for visiting Abbott House and taking the time to meet our team and learn about the life-changing programs that support children, families, and adults across New York State. From foster care and residential services to critical support for adults with developmental disabilities, we were proud to share how Abbott House helps build brighter futures every day.

Thank you Andrea Stewart-Cousins for the opportunity to discuss the evolving needs of our communities and the powerful impact that strong partnerships and public leadership can have on the lives of those we serve. 💚

A morning full of inspiration, community, and big dreams. 💛

Earlier this week, our youth traveled to Ossining, NY, to visit First Village Coffee and Brothers Fish & Chips.

Owners Luis Corena and Elmer Oliveros shared personal stories about their journeys from El Salvador and Guatemala to the United States and the process of opening their own businesses.

During a creative writing activity, participants reflected on their home countries, cherished memories, and hopes for the future. Luis and Elmer urged our youth to stay hopeful, pursue their education, dream big, and give back to their communities.

A huge thank-you to Something Good in the World for helping to make this experience possible, and to First Village Coffee and Brother’s Fish and Chips for welcoming our youth, sharing their stories, and creating such a meaningful day. 💙

Creativity blossomed in our Children's Peace Garden during our latest Poetree Workshop!

Youth spent the day observing and sketching their favorite trees throughout the garden, using colored pencils and watercolor paints to bring their artwork to life. After exploring different forms of poetry, including haikus, free-form poetry, and “I Am…” poems, they added their own original words to their artwork, transforming each piece into a unique reflection of their thoughts, feelings, and observations about nature.

To conclude the workshop, everyone came together to plant a serviceberry tree, a native North American species whose spring blossoms support pollinators and whose summer berries provide food for birds and other wildlife. The tree will serve as a lasting reminder of the day and a living symbol of growth, creativity, and connection to the natural world.

A special thank you to United Paths for donating art supplies and notebooks, and to Dan Alvarez from Sunnyside Federal for joining us as our youth explored the powerful connection between art, poetry, and nature.

Meet Emily Rockefeller, our 2026 Dignity of Family Life Award honoree!

Emily is a community ambassador who understands the impact of shared vision. As one of our Rivertown neighbors, she helped establish Abbott House’s hands-on beekeeping program, hosted on the beautiful grounds of Lyndhurst. Through her creative leadership and generosity, Emily is helping children discover the vital role honeybees play in our world — while also experiencing the confidence, curiosity, and connection that come from learning something new.

Beyond Abbott House, Emily serves on the board for Shoes for a Cure, the Fashion Footwear Charitable Foundation's largest annual fundraiser supporting breast cancer research and awareness. Additionally, she is a member of the Board of Trustees at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences and the International Council at the Museum of Modern Arts.

Join us on October 27 at Westchester Country Club as we celebrate Emily and her commitment to Abbott House — or send your congratulations with a digital journal ad.

Meet Brionna Sawyer, our 2026 Dr. Joseph M. Pastore, Jr. Difference-Maker Award honoree!

Brionna’s connection to Abbott House began when she was one of the young people we serve. Today, she is giving back to the next generation through her work with our youth leadership program.

Born and raised in New York City, Brionna entered foster care at age nine. A graduate of White Plains High School, she is currently pursuing a degree in Social Welfare at SUNY Albany. Her time as part of the Abbott House community has shaped her passion for supporting others and creating a future rooted in education and advocacy.

Outside of school, Brionna enjoys spending time with friends, exploring new places, and traveling whenever possible. She values connection, personal growth, and new experiences, and hopes her perspective will have a positive impact on the lives of others.

Join us on October 27 at Westchester Country Club as we celebrate Brionna and all that she is accomplishing. You can also send your congratulations by placing a digital journal ad in her honor.
