Description

Case Presentation: Challenges with Complex Cases and Specialized Services will take place on January 13, 2026 from 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM. 

 

This case presentation will discuss the timeline and scope of services provided to an individual through a Problem Gambling Helpline call and connection to Warm Transfer to the initiation and continuation of clinical telehealth. This service delivery also involved engagement with family members and translation support services within the Deaf Community. In this case presentation we will share the robust and comprehensive delivery of services across the continuum of care for an individual in the Deaf Community and how these special services and considerations supported trust in the clinical encounter.
