About this document
Accessible Mental Health for Deaf Consumers by Lucila S. Rolfo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses efforts in Illinois to improve access to public mental health services for deaf individuals. It describes the formation of Illinois Deaf Services 2000 (IDS2000), a public-private partnership that established service standards, monitoring, and a telepsychiatry network. As a result, the number of deaf individuals receiving services from community agencies increased by 60%. With adaptations, other states could replicate aspects of IDS2000 with minimal additional funding.
