Granddaughter to a Hard-of-Hearing psychiatrist, Audrey was raised with a special understanding of the role communication plays within the family environment. It is because of this influence that Audrey works to bridge the gap between hearing parents and their Deaf children - emphasizing American Sign Language, Deaf identity exploration and Deaf cultural awareness as a means to improve familial support.
New parents are confronted with a wide variety of challenges the second they bring home their bundle of joy. These challenges can become overwhelming at times, especially when the baby has been diagnosed with hearing loss or a medical disorder. Audrey Jung works with new mothers and fathers as they explore their changing family roles and personal identities, discussing topics ranging from stress management to post partum depression.
For three years, Audrey was well-known as the "Tobacco Lady" in local schools and throughout the community, as she encouraged students, teachers and parents to look beyond media stereotypes and learn all there was to know about the addictive cycle of tobacco. Audrey ran numerous prevention and education groups in schools, the community and office workplaces, trained other professionals to provide basic tobacco interventions, and helped hundreds of people quit smoking. Audrey is certified in Basic Tobacco Intervention and Tobacco Cessation through the state of Arizona's Department of Health Services.
Audrey enjoys rollerblading, weightlifting, scrap booking, cross stitching, watching movies and reading the works of Tom Clancy, Dan Brown, Ann Rice, and Marion Zimmer Bradley. She is available for therapy sessions for family or deaf related issues from 1 pm to 5 pm on Mondays, and has evening availability on Tuesdays through Thursdays. She accepts email and chat therapy sessions for any issues related to deafness, tobacco cessation or family etherapy at this time.
