Vancro applied for and was granted a Health Equity Grant through the Vermont Community Fund and Department of Health.
In a nutshell Vancro will:
Provide a training to interpreters working in MH settings
Pay the registration fee for any out of state private practitioner who signs to be rostered in VT and to be available for telehealth – will provide a list to the Deaf community
Will pay for any HI/DI interpreters to interpret MH counseling sessions until May 31, 2023 for any private practitioner state wide (Must be self-employed) (Grant time frame likely to be extended)
We keep data on level of effort to submit to the D / HH/ DB Council and to DOH in an effort to secure on-going state funding.
Please spread the word to the Deaf Community! Please post on FB pages!!
Attached is the Vlog!
Let me know what questions you have!
Thank you!
