Substance Abuse: Impact on Students and Clients who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Substance abuse may have a strong impact on transition, retention, and successful employment. Statistics show that 1 person in 10 struggles with addiction, but these numbers are thought to be higher within the Deaf community. Are you curious as to why this is the case? Do you need to know where you can refer a student or client to get help or would you like tools in American Sign Language to help with your assessments and intake process? This online video explains how detrimental drug and alcohol use and abuse are to transition-aged (and beyond) individuals who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing. It includes four parts and covers key topics such as prevalence and research, barriers to treatment, assessment challenges, and treatment options. This video is included in the “Just in Time Training” series that features modules with accessible, concise trainings that provide brief overviews on issues relevant to providing services to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. ASL is the source language for this video; spoken English and captioning are also provided.

PEPNet has been a valuable resource to the University of Arizona for years. Using the listserv, we’ve been able to connect with other disability and higher education professionals and stay in up-to-date on emerging issues in deafness and education nationwide. We’ve even been able to locate and hire interpreters for study abroad assignments using the PEPNet network! Most recently, we were in need of information on amplification systems to support our city-wide book festival. The PEPNet team connected us with a colleague with extensive knowledge in assistive listening devices. Using the resources she provided, we found a perfect solution and were even able to serve as a source of information for another service provider who was seeking similar information. PEPNet is like having a team of colleagues in your pocket.
