Federation of Organizations 1 New York 109, West Babylon, NY 11704

"After 1 year of stellar counseling/ therapy,, I I graduated from PROS Recovery Services in 2017! The caring and knowledgeable staff eagerly taught us the tools to manage and/or defeat our anxiety, stress and depression. The PTSD classes added in me healing. I learned: PTSD is a NORMAL reaction to traumatic experiences. The "Trash the Ash" classes helped us reduce/cease smoking cigarettes! The staff genuinely CARED for us! Theyve advanced in their careers and moved on to help others. From these reviews about staff (I believe) has changed to the detriment of clients. That is not the intention nor goal of BARBARA FARON (CEO). She served us lunch on Thanksgiving 2016 at Federations Patchogue ! She has since assisted me several times as she said she would!"

"I've lived in federation of organizations since 2010. And I've had nothing but issues since theyve started switching staff every other month. I am a supposed to see a staff member. Every 2 weeks I don't see a staff member for 3 or 4 months. I called to complain they do nothing. I tell them that there's maintenance issuses and they dont fix things issues.dontmaintenance issues right away. I've been forced to move 4 times since I've been with the company. Because they can't keep houses. They have issues with people standing up for things that are right."

"They are not team players. Upper management only cares about making themselves look good. They do not care for the staff in the lower todem pole, who actually keeps the agency going and are actually working with the clients . They send an email and may say they value the workers, but their actions prove otherwise."

"I'm living with Federation Of Organization since November 2015 and there's been alot of changes with staff. Also the staff members that I've worked with most of them are fakes and they really don't care about the Resisdence who they work with. Also the Executive Director don't care about the resisdents who live in her program because if she did care she would be willing to meet with me since there are problems and the supervisor Kelly Smith is very nasty and has lied to me saying that the agency don't have a certificate of operations license from the state to operate a housing agency which isnt true. Its by law that a housing agency has to have a certificate of operations license from Office Of Mental Health OMH. Also they hired a international specialist to solve issues and the person who they hired is a fake and don't know how to treat people with respect and dignity. Her name is Joelle Dimonte. Nemerous of times she has hurt me and when you approach her about the issues that she dosent realize what she is doing wrong. I've requsted several times a meeting with the Executive Director Barbara Faron and she dosent want to meet with me. They expect you to pay rent but part of the rent is services that the staff is supposed to help the resisdents out and take them to appointments like I had to go for a colonoscopy and a endoscopy and the staff dosent understand that you have to have someone has to be there because your going to be under anesthesia and they have to see the person who drives u home. So I had to rely on the church to take me."
