Presentation Description: In addition to the numerous barriers known to prevent DHH and DB youth from accessing mental health care services, families of these youth, particularly those students educated in mainstreamed settings, are also at heighted of risk of being isolated from other key community resources and connections and may not know where to turn to access specialized, linguistically- and culturally affirming mental health care in support of their child. This presentation will outline how a family-centered, therapeutic model of mental health assessment for youth was established at one pediatric hospital outpatient mental health clinic. This presentation will describe referral pipelines as well and common referral questions and concerns held by parents. This poster will describe key domains and measures included in the assessment process and how deaf-specific experiences such as dinner table syndrome, communication anxiety, and listening fatigue are identified as an underlying mechanism to DHH and DB youth’s mental health symptoms. Approaches to assessment feedback, recommendations, and avenues to increase family’s social capital will be described.
