Bloomington mental health provider offers suicide prevention training in sign language
The McLean County Center for Human Services (MCCHS) is trying to make suicide prevention training more accessible, so it’s started offering a course in American Sign Language (ASL).
“One of the things that we've discovered as we started doing trainings, is that there are a lot of communities who don't have these types of resources,” said mental health awareness trainer Rose Addo. “And so as we've talked to people who are Spanish speaking or French speaking, we started talking about ways that we might be able to branch out.”
