💙 Protecting Our Littlest Lives. Every Baby Deserves a Safe Start.

Did you know that New York State records 65.6 sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID) per 100,000 live births, according to the CDC's 2020–2024 data?

At Andrus, we're working to make a difference.
We are proud to recognize Nebraska Campbell from our Healthy Families team, who recently completed the Cribs for Kids Safe Sleep Instructor training in Pittsburgh and is working toward certification.

Through education, awareness, and community outreach, our Healthy Families team is strengthening efforts to promote safe sleep practices and reduce preventable infant deaths across Westchester County.

Because protecting our youngest lives is where building healthier communities begins. 💙

Building Confidence, Courage, and Connection, One Challenge at a Time!

At Andrus, learning and healing extend far beyond the classroom!

Throughout the season, our Orchard School clinicians and recreation therapists used our campus ropes course as a therapeutic tool to help students build confidence, strengthen relationships, practice emotional regulation, and develop trust in themselves and others.

Through teamwork, encouragement, and healthy challenges, students learned to step outside their comfort zones, overcome fears, and celebrate one another's successes.

As we close another wonderful ropes course season, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Darian Cahill, Meg Cardi, and Dylan Salomone, all the dedicated staff who supported our students, and a very special shoutout to Mr. Casey, who joined the group every Thursday!

These experiences reflect our One Health philosophy, recognizing that movement, nature, supportive relationships, and meaningful experiences all contribute to a child's growth and well-being.

We look forward to reaching new heights together in the spring! 🌿

Sometimes a photograph communicates more than words ever could.

We are still buzzing from A Night to Imagine What’s Possible, and one of the most moving parts of the evening was seeing two extraordinary women whose leadership reflects the enduring spirit of Andrus.

Susan Guma our Board Member Emerita and recipient of the Andrus Excellence and Leadership Award, devoted nearly three decades to helping guide Andrus through growth, change and an unwavering commitment to children and families.

Alongside her stood our President and CEO, Corine E. Lurry-Mabin, PhD , whose own Andrus journey began in 1997 as a Home Visitor supporting families in shelters and transitional housing. Nearly three decades later, she now leads Andrus forward with the same deep belief in seeing, supporting and strengthening every child and family.

Looking at these photographs, it was easy to imagine Julia Dyckman Andrus there in spirit, celebrating right alongside us. It has been made official: At the Andrus Soirée, we were honored to receive proclamations from Westchester County and the New York State Senate recognizing October 1, 2026, as Andrus One Health Day.

Different generations. Different journeys. One enduring belief in the potential of every child.

What a powerful evening celebrating remarkable women who continue to carry her legacy forward, while imagining all that is still possible.

A Night to Imagine What’s Possible: An Evening of Community, Celebration and Hope!
Yesterday, Thursday, October 1, we welcomed 125 guests to our Yonkers campus for A Night to Imagine What’s Possible, celebrating community, philanthropy and our shared commitment to children and families.
Held at the President’s House, the gathering brought together friends of Andrus, community and corporate partners, elected officials, Board members, staff, donors and new friends.
President and CEO Dr. Corine E. Lurry-Mabin, PhD grounded the evening in our mission and commitment to seeing the whole child. She shared the vision behind One Health, recognizing that a child’s emotional and physical well-being cannot be separated from relationships, environment, movement, nature, education and community.
MIchael Orth, Commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health, spoke about prevention, accessible and coordinated behavioral health care, and the importance of strong partnerships among government, providers, families, schools and community organizations. He also recognized the extraordinary service and stewardship of our honoree, Susan P. Guma.
Westchester County Legislator Jewel Williams Johnson, Chair of the Committee on Health, expanded the conversation emphasizing that access to care and opportunities for well-being should not depend on income, ZIP code, language, race, disability or the ability to navigate complicated systems.
Quoting the Ubuntu proverb, “A person is a person through other people,” she reminded us of something at the heart of Andrus: lasting change happens through community.
A highlight of the evening was honoring Susan P. Guma with the Andrus Excellence in Leadership and Service Award for her remarkable leadership, stewardship and lasting impact on our organization.
Susan was also honored with proclamations from New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins. County Executive Jenkins joined us in person and recognized Susan’s decade of service and leadership.

In accepting the award, Susan reflected on gratitude, stewardship, the dedication of Andrus staff and Board members, the strength of community partnerships, the Andrus family legacy and her hopes for the organization’s future.
Her recognition was especially meaningful because it connected our history with what comes next: generations of people choosing to invest their time, leadership, resources and belief in children and families.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported us, celebrated Susan and invested in the future of Andrus.

Together, we imagined what is possible. Now we continue the work of making it possible.

Special thank you to Chereese Jervis-Hill and her team at Events to Remember 360 for an amazing evening!

🐾 Meet some of the most beloved members of the Andrus team: our PAWS dogs!

Through our Pets At Work for Sanctuary (PAWS) program, specially trained dogs become part of the therapeutic One Health community at Andrus, offering comfort, connection, and support to the children and staff on our campus.

Jack-Jack and his cousin Dash are beautiful White Labrador Retrievers who come to us from 3 Dog Farm Dog Farm, where they are raised and trained with tremendous care and attention to their well-being.

So how do you tell them apart? Dash has a black nose and a little birthmark on his tongue , while Jack-Jack has a pink nose. 🐾

PAWS dogs are much more than campus companions. Alongside their handlers, they help create moments of calm, trust, joy, and connection.

And as you can see, Jack-Jack and Dash had a great time while we tried to capture the perfect picture! 📸❤️

We are so grateful to 3 Dog Farm for helping prepare these very special four-legged members of the Andrus team for the important work they do.

COMMUNITY IN ACTION | Standing with Andrus

For more than a decade, Levitt Fuirst has stood alongside Andrus as a dedicated community partner, returning year after year with something incredibly valuable: their time, energy, and willingness to help wherever they are needed most.

This week, their team was back on our campus volunteering, assembling hygiene kits for our children and taking on hands on projects that help care for and maintain the spaces our community uses every day.

The impact of a volunteer day like this extends far beyond the projects completed.

When our community partners take on work that would otherwise require significant staff time and resources, they give that time back to Andrus. That means our teachers, clinicians, residential teams, facilities staff, and other professionals can spend more of their time where it matters most: supporting our children and families.

That is what true partnership looks like.

We are deeply grateful to the entire Levitt Fuirst team for more than ten years of friendship, service, and commitment to the Andrus mission. Your continued support helps make our work possible, and we are incredibly fortunate to have you standing with us.

Thank you, Levitt Fuirst, for showing up, year after year, for Andrus and for the children we serve.
