Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services

People Incorporated has led the way in providing culturally competent integrated mental health, medical, and independent living services to the deaf, hard-of-hearing, and deaf-blind communities. All of our services emphasize cultural accessibility, with the primary mode of communication being American Sign Language (ASL). 

In addition to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, DSL may serve other individuals with disabilities who may benefit from the services provided. 

From inpatient, drop-in, or in-home health services, we have a wide system of care, helping individuals dually find support within the deaf community and wherever they are in their mental health journey.
