Dear CHC Clients and Friends,
As we continue this unexpected journey together, please know that your hearing and communication needs are very much on our minds.
Every weekday, CHC clinicians are providing services and tech support by telephone, email and videoconferencing to make sure our clients can hear and connect with friends, co-workers and loved ones.
Through our

newsletter, we're reaching out each week to provide blog posts, videos and other resources to ensure you have tech solutions you can apply at home, tips to help your child get the most out of remote learning, and advice on how to care for your emotional self.
We're pleased to announce our first webinar, April 22nd, dedicated to
