Deaf
and Hard of Hearing Services for Children and Adults
The Mental Health Center provides
specialized mental health services for the Deaf,
Deaf-Blind, Hard of Hearing or Late-Deafened individuals
living in Cumberland County. This program was designed to
provide accessible mental health services for these
populations. The Center currently has two Regional
Coordinators for Deaf Services; one specifically for
Children and Adolescents and one for adults. Both
therapists are fluent in American Sign Language and
utilize the client's preferred mode of communication
during therapy sessions. In addition, the Regional Coordinators
serve as consultants and trainers for Cumberland County,
Sandhills and Southeastern Regional Mental Health Area
Programs, Department of Social Services and other county
agencies. In addition, the Regional Coordinators serve as liaisons
with regional psychiatric hospitals when Deaf, Deaf-Blind,
Hard of Hearing or Late-Deafened individuals are involved.
