MERGING CARE, TECHNOLOGY

The care you need in challenging times

The Milwaukee Center for Independence is now offering virtual programming to meet the needs of clients whose live programs have been temporarily closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Understandably, temporarily closing programs disrupted our clients’ routine, which has been difficult for them.

Many of our clients, particularly those with intellectual or development disabilities, did not understand why they could no longer participate in their program or see friends and familiar support staff.

MCFI’s remote programs are designed to keep clients engaged, providing them with a sense of structure and comfort during this difficult time.

The programming’s curriculum will focus on wellness and social connection; clients will have opportunities to have discussions, learn new skills and participate in movement classes.

The curriculum offers a wide variety of experiences designed specifically for people with developmental disabilities and those recovering from a brain injury.

Programming will be offered between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

MCFI is the only nonprofit service provider in the greater Milwaukee area offering virtual programming.

MCFI’s mission is to partner with people of all abilities to advance their total health. Contact us for more information about our remote programs, contact info@mcfi.net. To learn more about MCFI’s 80-year legacy of innovation, please visit www.mcfi.net.
