Our mission is more than a statement
It's a mission that everyone at
Hamaspik knows verbatim
It’s more than mere words:
We help families from the moment they reach out, facilitating invaluable peer support and resources even before they start the intake process. And we continue to counter the inevitable challenges as partners — every day. Because for us, it’s about the people we support, the hope we give them, and the change we help effect in their lives.

When he started out in 2017, Hamaspik was servicing 378, clients and staff meetings were held around a large conference table.
By 2024, it had grown to a 4800+ employee organization servicing 4400+ families.
In 2021 Mr. Wertheimer returned to school to earn his MHC.
What motivated him to build up a huge array of services for the developmentally disabled?
And, even more intriguing:
Once Hamaspik of Kings County was well-established as a leader in the OPWDD world, what led Hershel Wertheimer to forge ahead into the arena of mental health?

What sets Mr. Wertheimer's leadership apart is the profound impact of his guiding philosophy: ‘I love empowering people to access their potential and achieve great things.’ This philosophy of empowerment fosters a culture where team members are valued and supported, enables individuals of all abilities to access their potential, and contributes to groundbreaking achievements in mental health advocacy and care.
