Mental Health First Aid Across the Life Span
Hearing and balance conditions are known to coincide with a host of health-related issues, including mental health.

Working with this population provides an opportunity for our profession to demonstrate our significance in the medical arena and to facilitate the opportunity to enhance communication for those who have had strokes and other types of acquired brain injuries.
