Deaf and Hard of Hearing Child Resilience Center

True clinical competence means honoring the client’s preferred communication—whether ASL, cued speech, or spoken language—and understanding their specific d/Deaf identity.

Being Deaf and LGBTQIA+ means existing beautifully at the intersection of overlapping communities. We uplift and celebrate the brilliance, resilience, and history of Deaf q***r communities everywhere.

A number of DHHCRC attended ADARA in Salt Lake City last week. We gave presentations on Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, The Core Curriculum and Childhood Trauma, and our transadaptation work on the Deaf Childhood Experiences Scale. We were so glad to meet with so many
clinicians, researchers, and other related professionals!

True equity in healthcare means
Deaf individuals can access mental health services without fear, miscommunication, or exclusion.
