On September 30, 2015, the California Mental Health Services Act Multicultural Coalition (CMMC) presented highlights from various State of the State Reports at the Behavioral Health Policy Forum in Carlsbad. One report focused on the experiences of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) community and their access to mental health services in California. DHH community college students were asked to share their personal experiences and these short videos are highlights from their stories. The DHH State of the State Report and others can be found on the Racial and Ethnic Mental Health Disparities Coalition (REMHDCO) website.
