Daybreak Inc

Daybreak Inc Waupun is a private non-profit organization in Waupun, Wisconsin that provides specialized residential care for adults with serious mental illness. The facility operates as a Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services, serving up to 8 clients in a supportive home-like setting.

The community serves individuals with chronic mental illness, including those who may be near hospitalization, those with a history of hospitalization, or those requiring neuroleptic medication. Residents may have a variety of neurotic and psychotic disorders, and the common bond among clients is a continued need for psychiatric care and supervision.

Daybreak operates under the philosophy that mental illness is not a hopeless condition and that individuals can learn to manage their condition with appropriate support. Staff are committed to fostering positive expectations and helping clients develop the skills to manage their illness effectively and independently, similar to how people manage other chronic health conditions.

In addition to the main CBRF facility in Waupun, Daybreak operates a two-bed supervised apartment building located next door to the residential facility, offering an additional housing option for eligible clients.
