We want to see every
one of our clients living
a bright and productive life, filled with happy moments. At the same time, we provide extensive support to ease the strain on the families who carry the weight of their care.
If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a Hamaspik-sized team to raise a child with significant challenges. Dealing with developmental delays and mental health challenges is huge — and we don't want you to feel lost, confused or alone — ever again.

NEWBORN SUPPORT: Worried about your baby's prognosis? Discuss it with Surie Morgenstern, director of Pillar Support.
Your challenge isn't confined to
specific times or places.
What happens when the schedule simply is. not. working.? When you're lonely in a Midwest hospital on a summer weekend? When you're sure no one ever dealt with a mess this bad?
In addition to the 1:1 support offered by your care coordinator, our popular support programs connect you with people who are a few miles ahead, on the same road.
You'll be strengthened, and others will draw strength from you, too. You'll advise and you'll accept advice. You'll empathize and feel encouraged.
Because when you've been
there, you just know.
Regardless of where you live, or whether you are signed up for other Hamaspik services, you're welcome to draw inspiration from our hotlines, newsletter, app and events.

Nothing is as gratifying as knowing that the spaces we've created for people to connect are being used. Easing one heartache at a time.
There's a time to hand-hold and a time to nurture independence.
A time to achieve goals and a time to relax and rejuvenate.
A time to listen and a time to advocate.
There's a time to hand-hold and a time to nurture independence. A time to achieve goals and a time to relax and rejuvenate.
A time to listen and a time to advocate.
And then there are times when all these converge to bring out the very best — at Hamaspik of Kings County.
Anyone can say, "We'll do everything possible to help". But Hamaspik has a different definition of 'everything possible'. Limits don't stop us. Protocols don't confine us. From the leadership down, our 3,800-strong staff shares a passion that goes way beyond the typical caring-within-the-framework help.
Nobody 'gets it' like someone who's been there. Many of the people who work here are also Hamaspik clientele. They service you from a place of deep understanding.
You — the front lines caregivers — know best what is needed. If you have an idea of how we can serve people better, we want to hear it.
When we extend ourselves to help our clients and involve our communities in our efforts, we create welcoming havens for anyone challenged by life's circumstances.
And we're here to provide answers.
Please tell us how we can make things easier for you.
