About

DISABILITY NETWORK WAYNE COUNTY - DETROIT HAS EXPANDED ITS OUTREACH ACTIVITIES TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH AN ADDITIONAL 10K CONSUMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGHOUT WAYNE COUNTY. DNWCD WAS ABLE TO SECURE FUNDING FROM WIRELESS VISION AND PROVIDED 750 SPECIAL CARE KITS FOR THE HOMELESS AND THOSE IN NEED. WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH WIRELESS VISION FOR OUR ANNUAL BACK TO SCHOOL GIVEAWAY. THIS YEAR'S EVENT WAS HELD AT HART PLAZA IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT DURING THE HISTORIC RIBS AND SOUL MUSIC FESTIVAL. DNWCD PARTICIPATED FOR EACH DAY OF THE EVENT AND GAVE AWAY MORE THAN 1,300 BACKPACKS TO FAMILIES. EACH BACKPACK WAS FILLED WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON OUR SERVICES. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR DNWCD PROVIDED A SAFE SPACE TO PERFORM ARTS AND FITNESS CLASSES FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE THAT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS THERAPEUTIC FOR THE MIND AND HELPS TO REDUCE STRESS. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH ALL WELL BEING SERVICES, DNWCD WAS ABLE TO HOST OVER 100 CONSUMERS FOR WEEKLY RECREATION AND SOCIALIZATION ACTIVITIES. THE SESSIONS PROVIDED CONSUMERS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET NEW PEOPLE, ENHANCE THEIR INTERPERSONAL SKILLS, REDUCE STRESS, INCREASE THEIR FISCAL ACTIVITY. DNWCD HAS DEVELOPED A 10-WEEK HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM DESIGNED TO HELP ADULTS LIVING WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO ASSIST EACH CONSUMER IN DEVELOPING HEALTHY HABITS AND TEACH NEW METHODS OF LIVING WELL WITH A DISABILITY. IN ADDITION, DNWCD WILL COUPLE THIS WITH OUR COOKING MATTERS PROGRAM. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH GLEANERS COMMUNITY FOOD BANK OUR STAFF WILL FACILITATE INSTRUCTIONAL CLASSES ON HEALTHY FOOD PREPARATIONS. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE CHILDHOOD HUNGER BY EMPOWERING PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS WHO FUNCTION ON A FIXED INCOME. THE LIVING AND LEARNING HOUSING EXPERIENCE PROGRAM HAD A MASSIVE IMPACT ON THE YOUNG ADULTS WHO PARTICIPATED DURING ITS INTRODUCTORY YEAR. THE FEEDBACK HAS BEEN POSITIVE, AND EACH CONSUMER HAS GAINED SIGNIFICANT LIFE SKILLS THROUGH THE PROGRAM, AS EVIDENT IN THEIR TESTIMONIAL VIDEOS AND THROUGH OUR FOLLOW UP PROCEDURES. DNWCD STAFF HAVE BEEN COACHED ON IDENTIFYING TALENTED CONSUMERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN OUR SERVICES. THIS PAST YEAR WE HAVE PROVIDED VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SEVERAL CONSUMERS OF OUR JOB CLUB CLASSES, AND MADE AN OFFER OF CONTINGENT EMPLOYMENT TO ANOTHER PARTICIPANT OF OUR SOFT SKILLS TRAINING CLASSES.
