Psychiatry and Behavioral Health
The deaf population does not have a greater incidence of mental illness than people who can hear do. But communication barriers and social isolation add to their emotional and social problems. Deaf people therefore face obstacles that hearing people may never encounter.
Sinai offers a wide range of psychiatric and behavioral health services for deaf and hard-of-hearing adults and children, including diagnostic interviews, psychiatric evaluations, psychological testing, crisis intervention, individual and family therapy, parenting support and intervention services, and consultations.
DAP's psychiatry and behavioral health staff, including two clinical therapists and a psychologist, are fluent in sign language and well versed in deaf culture.
