Federation of Organization-Nys

Michael Waldinger

This is a multi service organization that provides many specific types of services for the mental health community from just needing counseling,to psychiatric medication management,but most unique is the service offered called "care coordinator " which runs the gambit of handling the arduous housing application process on your behalf to applying and securing benefits for clients and acting as a liason between the client and the community. An example would be securing employment with transportation where the clients otherwise would struggle to express normalcy in the face of a stigmatized psychiatric diagnosis and articulate gaps in employment that would be neither positive nor negative upon application review. Those who are clients are allowed to decide what level they feel they function at so the full time five day a week intensive group therapy of 8 groups a day is in general voluntary and beginning and cessation of group days bears no discipline on the client. The goal is to bring the client to independent housing, sobriety, employment that just reaches the max that SS benefits will allow without garnishing the monthly check. Medication stability is a main focus while counseling is a tool that is indefinite but can cease if agreed upon. The Federation of Organizations is located in multiple locations. One of hand is on Granny Road right outside Blue Ridge Estates in Medford. To initiate membership, you must have a program that has recently done a biopsychosocial on you because when calling intake they will ask for that right away. My personal opinion is that if you need psychological care for multiple years,psychiatric Medication that leaves no time for the failures of say many off label anxiety drugs and need to be monitored on a benzodiazepine then these Dr's will take you seriously. Adderall is also an often rxed drug as you will be required to maintain attention with your counselor weekly but the drugs will bring you through your mental crises fast.
