The response to deaf disaster victims of Hurricane Katrina is an example of how the Federal government failed this population, particularly the community of Deaf African Americans who lived in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward. In the aftermath of this disaster, the natural helping networks of the deaf community and its organizations proved to be more effective than the organized relief agencies.

All people with hearing differences may attribute the onset of mental health problems as related to communication breakdowns or to oppression related to a lack of access to information. Hence deaf and hard of hearing people may delay referral for mental health treatment. Study findings indicate that people with hearing loss of all degrees are vastly underserved by the mental health system for a variety of reasons.1There are no specialized services designed specifically to meet the mental health needs of signing deaf patients or hard of hearing people in most states. Disproportionately few deaf or hard of hearing people seek mental health care.1 Deaf and hard of hearing people are more inclined to present for emergency-related care than outpatient care.7 Hence psychiatrists in training do not have many opportunities to learn to work with the hard of hearing. Some training sites have created online learning tools, community training collaborative, or virtual patient trainings.7,8 The Minnesota Department of Human Services has developed an online training as a first step in helping to familiarize mental health professionals with the topic (http://registrations.dhs.state.mn.us/Registration Courses/HearingLoss /welcome.intro.html).]]> 2020-08-23 00:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rmtcdhh/MentalHealth/wish/693103785 The National Coalition on Mental Health and Deaf Individuals rmtcdhh https://padlet.com/rmtcdhh/MentalHealth/wish/693104897 To create and modify public systems of care to adequately provide culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health and substance abuse services to humans with hearing loss.
