Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community Counseling

CDP’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community Counseling Services (DHHCCS) provide comprehensive outpatient emotional health services that are accessible to persons who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind.

The licensed program has been administered by CDP since 1981. Professionals are trained in the psychosocial aspects of deafness and are fluent in sign language.

Special listening assistive devices are utilized upon request to facilitate clear communication with persons who are hard of hearing.

Services include:

• Coping strategies for hard of hearing and late-deafened individuals and their families

• Consultation services for other agencies serving persons with hearing loss

• Educational programs, workshops, and presentations focused on mental health issues among the deaf, hard of hearing, and deaf-blind communities
