“YOU ARE NOT ALONE (Y.A.N.A.)”

What is Y.A.N.A. ?

Y.A.N.A. is a FREE telephone reassurance and welfare maintenance program for residents in the Wisconsin Dells School District. This program is designed to provide daily phone contact to senior citizens, disabled persons or anyone that can positively benefit from routine contact. The goal of this program is to provide a piece of mind and measure of security to community members who enjoy the independence of living alone.

How does Y.A.N.A. work?

Dispatchers from the Wisconsin Dells Police Department will call participants daily. If the participant does not answer the phone after several attempts, a series of steps will follow to ensure their safety and well-being. These steps may include calling emergency contacts, dispatching the appropriate police and dispatching medical services.

How can you or a loved one participate?
