The content appears to be a research summary about the access to mental health care for trauma in deaf individuals. It discusses the lack of evidence-based and culturally relevant approaches to mental health services for deaf individuals, the use of formal and informal resources in mental health treatment, and the research methods used to gather information from mental health professionals. The article cited is "Trauma and the Use of Formal and Informal Resources in the Deaf Population: Perspectives From Mental Health Service Providers" by Cawthon et al. (2017).

Both formal and informal resources can support the mental health treatment process.
