Deaf Services Advocates Directory

Deaf Services Advocates are employees of Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) or substance use treatment providers who have received specialized training from the Office of Deaf Services. Training topics include DMH’s deaf and hard of hearing services options; communication methods; legal and policy requirements, and more. Training emphasizes the rights of deaf and hard of hearing people to make informed decisions about their care and communication.

Advocates support culturally appropriate services and effective communication for deaf and hard of hearing people served by their agencies. They enable deaf and hard of hearing people to navigate services more easily and improve quality of care.

The agencies listed below participate in the Deaf Services Advocates Program. People who live in a county listed below may contact their CMHC and ask to speak with a Deaf Services Advocate about questions or concerns.
