Thanks for having us. I was honoured to have the opportunity to share our insights and help spread awareness about the importance of mental health support for the deaf community. We explored various therapeutic approaches and the reasons why seeking therapeutic support

On 13th February, we had our last remote Winter Pressures workshop to discuss deaf #MentalHealth & the different approaches to receive support. Victoria from @Deaf_4_Deaf explained that some services can support you with your mental health journey. #DeafSupport #Online

In times of crisis, we always contact the national association of deaf people immediately.
We work with them to support all deaf people's equality and human rights. From access to services to safety to equality to helping people in times of crisis, we are there to provide support

Hello! I'm Kate, Kate Rowley. I'm Patrick, Patrick Rosenburg. We are researchers @DCAL_UCL & we're interested in research language comprehension in deaf children, particularly BSL comp. skills & how this relates to English reading skills. We need 300 deaf kids aged 4-18.

Would it be fair to say that BSL registered translators appear to be substituted by BSL registered interpreters hired by companies of all size? If so why? Is it down to cost or availability? Your views would be greatly appreciated #translator #interpreter #BSL

Data on deaf related issues are woefully inadequate at all levels of government and rather deliberate too. The @BDA_Deaf's own statistics are out of date and not even externally audited as reliable. Data is a crucial piece of tool in creating an effective case / study. Good luck.

From our experience - it tends to be both hearing and deaf led organisations. There is a need for a specific contract monitoring role to measure performance and ensure compliance and that data can be used against agencies, especially when they apply for a contract renewal.
