Integrated and Community Services, Supported Employment Securing and maintaining employment can be challenging for individuals with mental health conditions or those in recovery from addiction. Research shows that with the right support, individuals are more likely to keep their jobs, experience improved mental health, and stay engaged in their communities. At Easterseals Southeast Wisconsin, we recognize the importance of personalized employment support. By guiding individuals from application to hire and providing ongoing coaching, we help participants build confidence, independence, and valuable work skills while ensuring employers have motivated, well-prepared staff. Our approach benefits everyone-employees gain meaningful, stable work and personal growth, and employers gain dedicated team members who are set up for success. Through these services, we empower individuals to thrive in the workplace and beyond.

Adult Day Services Individuals with disabilities thrive when they have opportunities to connect, engage, and participate in meaningful experiences. Our Respite Enrichment programs create safe and supportive spaces where participants can build friendships, strengthen social skills, and explore new activities. From camp, recreation and community outings to structured daytime supports, these programs encourage independence, decision-making, and personal growth while ensuring that individuals feel included and valued. The benefits extend far beyond the individual. By supporting individuals in active, social settings, our programs help families and caregivers find peace of mind and essential respite. At the same time, the community gains from the presence of individuals who are engaged, empowered, and contributing to the world around them.
