It is one of the very few organizations in NY that provides vulnerable Asian immigrant children and families from China, South Asia, Afghanistan, Korea and the Philippines, the mental health, substance abuse and domestic violence prevention services that they so desperately need, but are often too ashamed to access because of cultural stigma or language obstacles. Many of the children and families served live in conditions of extreme poverty and deal with issues including substance abuse, depression, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect. Yet many still don’t seek help because of the cultural shame and stigma associated with these problems and because of language barriers. Other critical services provided through AOP’s parent agency (The Child Center of NY) include multi-lingual tutoring in reading and math, treatment for infants and toddlers with developmental issues, and Head Start, a program to support parents and enhance the education and growth of children ages 3 to 5.
