I have been in contact with anumber of people regardin the issue of Mental Health expressed in my last post. As yet i have only had one response but it is a positive one.
Robert has kindly said that he is happy to counsel Deafblind individuals and has had some experience in this area. He is also an accredited interpreter therefore you can miss out on the usual requirement of accessing services via an interpreter and talk directly to him.
You can contact him via his website.
Alternatively you can contact any counselling service and as long as they are a qualified Psychologist you may have access to that service by utilising an interrpeter booked via the National Auslan Booking Service. Although these people may not specialise in Deafblind issues they should be able to help on a general level.
If you are not aware, under Medicare you are entitled to 10 visits a year with a Health Care Plan. Talk to your local General Practitioner for further details.
A number of companies pride themselves in their equal opportunity employment programs who will write my paper and they may be worth contacting. Even if at first they do not seem of particular interest to your chosen work area. It is always important to build employment Networks of our own.
