The mental health provider has partnered with Kentucky’s Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities and its deaf and hard-of-hearing services program, which services the roughly 700,000 Kentuckians who have some form of hearing loss.
The new program will offer deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals with mental health needs treatment in various settings, including co-leading groups and one-on-ones with a peer specialist. It is equipped to support between 30 and 50 patients and is funded in part by $90,000 from partners in the state department.
The new program will also offer discounted prices for interpreters through the American Sign Language Interpreting Service, the report said.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
