then, recently, we added a new program- it's a dmh program for the department of mental health for the deaf. people should know that awakenings program is the largest service provider in the u.s. specifically for the deaf and the hard of hearing. and so here at awakenings program all of the staff is able sign an asl very fluent. and at all times everybody is comfortable and able to express their feelings and work on their background and develop a better treatment plan to help them meet their goals. being around deaf culture, being around other deaf helps, yeah. it's more of the ability to communicate quickly. you know if something's wrong or pops up, and they learn to manage it by getting feedback with other peers here, and they learn to get through problems.
