Disaster Distress Helpline (DDH) piloting a new text service specifically for DHH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overview: Text \u2018DeafDDH\u2019 to 66746<\/u><\/p>\n

The national Disaster Distress Helpline (DDH) is dedicated to providing 24\/7 crisis counseling & emotional support to anyone in the U.S.\/territories experiencing distress or other mental health concerns related to natural or human-caused disasters. This free and confidential service is funded by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and administered by the not-for-profit Mental Health Association of New York City (MHA-NYC). MHA-NYC also administers the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, of which the DDH is a sub-network.<\/p>\n

The DDH is piloting a new 24\/7 texting (SMS) service to support Deaf and Hard of Hearing survivors, responders, and others impacted by disaster. By texting the keyword\u00a0DeafDDH<\/strong>\u00a0to 66746<\/strong>, users will be connected with a trained counselor from DeafLEAD (formerly known as the LEAD Institute), a DDH-networked crisis center specializing in providing crisis intervention & support services to Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals and families.<\/p>\n

By connecting Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals to counselors that understand the unique experiences and concerns they face before, during, and after disaster, we can provide better support and help them on the road to emotional wellness and recovery.<\/p>\n
