Fighting Addiction in the Deaf Community

Birnbaum Interpreting Services’ commitment to accessibility is part of a broader effort to promote equal opportunity for all. While the pandemic has overshadowed many public health issues, the opioid crisis remains a persistent and deadly challenge. BIS recognizes addiction as a medical condition—not a moral failing—and supports science-based approaches to treatment and recovery.To raise awareness of addiction in the Deaf and low-vision communities, BIS has partnered with AddictionResource.net. BIS CEO Brian Birnbaum emphasizes the urgency: “I see this as an issue that, without more attention, will impact us all.”
