Deaf and Hard of Hearing Child Resilience Center
The DHHCRC supports the mental health of DHH children and families by increasing resources and reducing barriers to quality care.
Addressing trauma among underserved deaf and hard of hearing children.
Making a way for new innovations, treatment, and training.
