DMH/DD/SAS has been providing specialized mental health and substance abuse services statewide for deaf and hard of hearing consumers of all ages since 1992. Through regionally-based programs, culturally and linguistically appropriate outpatient services are provided throughout North Carolina by culturally competent clinicians who are fluent in sign language and understand the treatment needs of consumers who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind. The Division also operates a specialized Deaf Services Unit for individuals who are deaf and need inpatient psychiatric or substance abuse services, located at Broughton Hospital in Morganton.
The Mental Health Advisory Council for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing meets quarterly and is appointed by the Direction of the North Carolina Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services. The duties of the Council are to advise the Division of MH/DD/SAS on the development and implementation of the long-range plan. Sign language interpreters and Assistive Learning Devices are provided for Council meetings at MHDDSAS. For more information on this council, please contact Brad Trotter.
