Since 2014, 126 participants found jobs in the food service industry. Food service jobs represent 38% of all placements in Easterseals’ Workforce programs.

Dear Friend of Easterseals, We are excited to share the impact of our work in 2017. Through the work of more than 225 staff, 150 volunteers, countless supporters, partners and donors, we were able to achieve some remarkable milestones that are improving our community and allowing individuals with disabilities with opportunities to Live, Learn, Work and Play in Southeast Wisconsin. Some major highlights from 2017 include:

• Expanded Project SEARCH, a 9-month internship program for individuals with disabilities, to Racine County (Andis Company) and Washington County (St. Joseph’s Hospital). This evidence-based program boasts a more than 80% success rate with supporting interns to prepare for and secure community-based employment.

• Integrated the Safe Babies Healthy Families into our agency by moving the team into our Workforce Training Center in Waukesha. This move allowed the team to be even more embedded into the Easterseals’ culture and team.

• Continued to increase mental health services to individuals through Individual Placement and Support (IPS). Leveraging partnerships with Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division, Guest House and Justice Point, we added two new treatment teams in Milwaukee County to be able to meet the growing needs of those with a mental illness diagnosis who desire to find employment.

• Served even more individuals than ever before in our history. This past year, we provided direct services to nearly 3,500 people. Through these services, we touched the lives of more than 12,000 people in Southeast Wisconsin.

As we reflect on the past, we use these accomplishments to fuel our enthusiasm for future work. Governmental funding continues to shrink and we are humbly aware that our work would not be possible without our partners, friends, supporters and donors like you. We are incredibly grateful for your support and know that together, we truly can achieve our purpose: to change the way the world defines and views disabilities by making positive, profound differences in people’s lives every day.

Alexander’s StoryAlex, an individual diagnosed with mild intellectual disabilities and disorder of written expression, came to My Choice Family Care-Easterseals’ Care Management Unit when he was 19 years old. Alex’s life consisted of staying home most of the day playing video games and spending time with his family. He had no income and relied on his parents for all of his needs. Despite this, Alex had bigger dreams of someday getting a job, having friends and social interactions with people outside of his parents and sister.

With the help of his care team at Easterseals, Alex was about to get vocational training at Goodwill Industries in the Community Access Program. This gave him the opportunity to discover what type of job he wanted while receiving employment training. He participated in Project SEARCH with Goodwill at the Milwaukee County Airport.

Project SEARCH

Hands-on, comprehensive, vital services and support to help individuals and families reach their full potential—regardless of challenges, needs or disabilities.LIVE

A range of training, placement and related services that prepare people for the workforce—because meaningful work is often the key to overcoming challenges and having a good life.WORK

Project SEARCH is a business led program designed to develop social and employment skills for high school graduates with disabilities. This workforce initiative develops competitive, marketable, and transferable skills for employment through:

• Soft Skills Development• Career Exploration• Hands on Training• Innovative Adaptations

Since 2011, 81% of All Project SEARCH Participants Secured Employment

71% of 2017 Project SEARCH Participants Secured Employment

Since completing Project SEARCH, Alex’s ability to be independent has increased significantly. He secured a job at Wisconsin Athletic Club where he is able to earn income and meet others. He also participates in a program called Beyond Work where he is learning how to access the community for social activities.

Thanks to the help of My Choice Family Care-Easterseals, Alex is now thriving and his overall quality of life has greatly improved!

Safe Babies Healthy Families Offers Support for Single MomWhen a young woman became pregnant at age 19 she knew she would need help to ensure her child would have the best start in life. With the father of her baby in and out of jail and her family moving to a different state she lacked a strong support system she desperately needed to raise a child.

She joined our Safe Babies Healthy Families program and worked with her case manager Kerri throughout her pregnancy and after birth. Kerri was able to help her have access to the resources she needed to improve her situation: mental health screenings, assistance with funding stable housing, support to find and maintain employment and many more.

Her determination paired with Kerri’s help and advocacy has resulted in a tremendous change in her life resulting in stable housing, a job, and the resources and support to provide her child with a safe, nurturing place to live.
