November is Family Caregivers Month

by

 

We all recognize the huge impacts facing Wisconsin because of the need for caregivers so people with disabilities and aging adults can live and participate in their communities. November is National Family Caregiver Month, and BPDD is a proud member of the Wisconsin Family and Caregiver Support Alliance, which hosted a kick-off event at the Capitol on Thursday, Nov. 1 in the Governor’s Conference Room. There were several family caregivers who spoke about their experience as caregivers.

Some ideas on how to get involved during Family Caregivers Month:

  • Call or write to your state legislators about how you have been impacted as a caregiver or as someone who has difficulty finding care.
  • check out BPDD’s Facebook page for daily memes and caregiver facts.
  • Follow the link below to see BPDD’s 2019-2021 biennial budget recommendations.

Transportation Survey

by

Take our short survey: HERE 

We need as many people with disabilities and their families to tell us how transportation (or a lack of transportation) effects your life.

Can you get where you need or want to go on your schedule? Do you rely on family members, public transportation, or other options to get to your job and other places in the community? Answers to these and other questions will help us inform policy makers and work on ways to improve transportation for people with disabilities, older adults, and their families.

The deadline to take the survey is July 30th, 2018. Please take the survey, and ask with your family, friends, and others who are interested in improving transportation for older adults and people with disabilities to take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018SurvivalCoalitionTransportationSurvey
