Abbott House 2021 Annual Report - Other - Page 9
Our work has far-reaching effects on families and beyond. By helping one individual,
we know that we help countless others - biological and foster parents, siblings,
grandparents, and other extended family members.
With this in mind, this year alone we have touched the lives of more than 8,000
people in the New York Metropolitan area and Hudson Valley by providing safety,
promoting healing and restoring hope.
For Children and Familes: At Abbott House, we support and strengthen families to
keep them together. We also work with newly formed ones to help them thrive.
Our goal is to provide children and adolescents with a lasting sense of family, home
and community, and prepare them for a promising future. We help them build a durable
foundation of skills and experiences that allow them to thrive and become contributors
to their communities as they come of age.

For People with Developmental Disabilities: The focus of our work with adults
with complex needs is to help create enduring foundations of home, community
and future in their lives. They often have capacities, strengths and goals that are
overlooked by environments where ‘management’ overshadows growth. They are
often hindered, unwittingly, by
caregivers, from becoming their own
person and developing their own
notion of what their life will come to
be.
Regardless of their history or
circumstance, our aim is to
provide these individuals with an
environment of healing, safety and
opportunity to create their future.
Adults with complex needs will not “bootstrap” themselves out of their plight and
into prospering futures. They critically depend on our professional intervention and
partnership.
