You got 8 more days. Also please come to the meeting on November 27!

We cannot let the State of Georgia ignore the Deaf, Hard of Hearing and
Deaf-blind people with mental health!

Deaf people feel ashamed and don't want to fight for the mental health
service because it will draw attention to their problems!

the needs of deaf individuals who have MH issues.

His powerpoint was shown to the staff:

Dr Barry Critchfield moved to Missouri from S.C.
