Mental Health

With the support from Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and Ventura County Behavioral Health (VCBH), the Tri-County GLAD Mental Health Outreach Project was established in 2010 to support deaf and hard of hearing, deafblind, and deaf disabled individuals culturally and linguistically in order to remove stigma of mental health and to increase more awareness of getting mental health services in Ventura County. The Mental Health Outreach Project strives to empower * deaf individuals and families about the accessibility and utilization of prevention and early intervention services, which include:

• Prevention and Early Intervention workshops for deaf and hard of hearing community members
• Direct counseling sessions with a licensed ASL-fluent counselor
• Community presentations to the hearing agencies and organizations
• Mental health resources and referrals
