This report is the latest publication in the NTAC’s Cultural Diversity Series, which explores the mental health needs of an increasingly diverse nation. The report makes it clear that policymakers, planners, providers, and practitioners must work closely with members of the Deaf community to fashion programs and strategies that meet their needs and demonstrate a responsiveness to the issues of the Deaf culture.
