Beaver Dam (920) 356-9870 Karla Jensen, Program Director dclrn@powerweb.net DCLRN is a non-profit organization
designed to work in collaboration with existing respite providers,
to provide the community with a central point to access respite
services, and to provide training to respite care providers and
the community. In addition, our project has access to minimal
funding for respite stipends.
The value of respite care cannot be overstated. It reduces stress in families, prevents costly out-of-home placements, and prevents child / elder abuse and neglect. Respite care also serves to enhance the families coping abilities, increases caregiver physical and mental well being, and provides the caregiver with an opportunity for social activities and community involvement. |

Vision and Purpose:
Vision:
The People Can't Wait campaign was created by the Survival Coalition
of Wisconsin Disability Groups, a statewide coalition of disability
organizations. The Survival Coalition of Wisconsin Disability
Coalitions will promote conditions in which all people with disabilities
in Wisconsin:
- Will receive the support they need
- Can choose to live their lives as they wish
- Will have the opportunity to be full participants in community life.
Purpose of County
People Can't
Wait Coalitions:
To be the local component of a solid, sustainable cross disability
advocacy movement in which people with disabilities, family members,
advocates and others who choose to work in support of people
with disabilities become and remain a powerful voice for a system
of public and community support consistent with the Survival
Coalition Vision.
The Mission of the Dodge County People Can't Wait Coalition, working to support that Vision and Purpose will strengthen the voices of individuals, agencies and existing coalitions in Dodge County in support of people with disabilities by:

to one another through advocacy and support groups

--People on waiting lists
--Families waiting for family support
--Families in need of home services

- Informing state legislators representing
Dodge County, other elected officials, and local media of the
issues important to Dodge County citizens with disabilities,
their families, and those who work in support of them
- Initiating and participating in activities that will create and sustain the changes needed to enable all people with disabilities to be full members within Dodge County cities, towns and local communities.
