DID YOU KNOW.....


The connotations of the English expression "mental health" are
powerfully negative within the Deaf community and typically parallel
among the deaf population to mean "insanity". The consequence to this
is that if a client recognizes an English expression but associates it
with a meaning that does not precisely match the standard definition may
appear to be making irrelevant or inappropriate observations.
