The Consent Decree: A Means Of Obtaining Mental Health Services For People Who Are Deaf, Debra Katz, Andy Penn, Joan Gillece

JADARA

Consent decrees are a widely used technique to get services for disabled persons, and they can be an effective method to get appropriate state wide mental health services for persons who are deaf. Many state mental health systems have resolved litigation through the formation of 'consent decree units.' If properly designed and implemented, such units can improve services for patients who are deaf, empower administrators to provide programs not otherwise possible, and result ineffective mental health units. The steps involved in using the consent decree approach are given and guidelines for structuring and implementing a consent decree are provided.

Alcohol And Drug Services: A Jigsaw Puzzle, Nancy Moser, Marie Egbert Rendon

JADARA

When alcohol and drug problems are identified within the mental health setting, the clinician may experience tremendous barriers referring for alcohol and/or drug intervention. In the San Francisco Bay Area (the Bay Area encompasses between 5 to7 counties dose to and including San Francisco), we have been addressing these barriers and advocating for effective alcohol and drug recovery services for the past two years. Breaking the barriers to alcohol and drug services for the deaf and hard-of-hearing involves changes within the "system." This paper describes how to be a catalyst for change using a "systems approach": the process for obtaining …

Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E): Special Consideration For Students Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing, Roger Johnson, Katherine A. Sandberg

JADARA

Prevention programing in the area of alcohol and other drug abuse had made significant progress in the past several years. From the scare tactics and testimonials of recovering addicts we have progressed to efforts aimed at building self-esteem and teaching refusal skills. Students who are deaf or hard of hearing often continue to experience a lack of quality prevention services. Because information from the media is often inaccessible to these students and because school and community-based programs often do not take into account the special cultural and communication considerations of this population, their knowledge and skill base often lag behind …

Rational-Emotive Therapy: A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach To Working With Hearing Impaired Clients, Deborah I. Gough

JADARA

This paper serves to present to deafness rehabilitation specialists the basic assumptions and process of Rational-Emotive Therapy. As a forerunner in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy, RET provides a framework and specific interventions to meet a wide variety of client needs. A discussion of suggested techniques designed specifically for a portion of the deaf population is included. The flexibility of the RET approach in offering the options of both elegant and inelegant resolution of emotional disturbance enhances the usefulness of this theory with the diverse population of deaf clients.

Peer Counseling Programs For Hearing Impaired Persons, Michael Strong, Carol Day-Drummer

JADARA

Peer counselors and program directors from eight agencies in Northern and Southern California were interviewed in order to determine how their programs differed from other services for

hearing impaired persons, and how these programs compared with peer counseling programs in other settings. It was concluded that peer counselors provide a unique service by meeting a wide variety of needs in a supportive setting characterized by a shared background with the client. It was also apparent that the programs surveyed here had some features that were startlingly unlike peer counseling programs in other settings while in other ways they were similar. …
