Emotional Support for Those Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

Hard of Hearing, who are captioned-phone users, may call the NJ Mental Health Association. 1-866-202-4357 and TTY is 877-294-4356.

If the person has coronavirus and hearing loss intertwined, please call ACCESS at 973-754-5595 MON – FRI | 9AM – 5PM

Liz Hill, Director of NJDDHH, noted that most online websites have a chatbox feature you can type communicating with their service providers.

If you have found a local therapist using a virtual service for a long-term therapeutic treatment and would like to have a captioning service, you can contact NJDDHH to coordinate with a captionist.

To request counseling services in ASL, you may email to UckarC@sjhmc.org. The director will assess needs and forward it to the appropriate counselor or therapist at ACCESS.
