To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is to serve as a reference for A Forum for
LIFE, Inc. The Graham Windham Beacon Center has had a working relationship with
Roman Matthews and A Forum for LIFE for nearly 15 years. Annually to keep in compliance
with the Department of Education and The Department of Health here in New York
City we are required to have staff fully trained in Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) and Responding To Emergency (RTE) life saving techniques.
Without this training we would be out of compliance and not be able to apply
for our School Aged Child Care License (SACC) to operate our Summer Camp which
we server nearly 300 participants annually.
With the responsibility of caring for that many young
people we choose A Forum for LIFE for all our Life Saving training needs. The
classes are taught in a professional but easy to learn manner. The utilization
of progressive hands on and teach back scenarios keep the staff engaged and
always ready, at a moments notice, to jump in and “save this persons life”.
This, in itself, teaches our staff how situations can arise anytime, so always
be prepared! Mr. Matthews uses a lot of
scenario based questions which is relevant to out work and that further
prepares our staff for the job at hand.
In closing we would like to say that A Forum for LIFE
goes beyond the required training annually, by providing ongoing follow up to
our program throughout the year. This has been a great comfort to know that we
can depend on them for all safety and health related needs.
Additionally, a number of our
staff have kept in contact with Mr. Matthews for other mentoring and guidance
needs. We are very satisfied with the services that they provide and if there
is anything you are considering for them, you will not be disappointed. Please
feel free to contact me at 646-430-2730 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Ian R. Holly Jr.
