FEATURED COURSE
Supporting the mental health and wellbeing of Deaf learners in primary schools
Deaf children are more likely to suffer from mental health conditions in comparison to their peers. This training will enable staff to adequately support deaf children in mainstream primary schools by:
- Exploring the tools needed for children to manage feelings of stress and anxiety, including how to build resilience.
- Learning how to foster positive self-identity in both Deaf and hearing students.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to bridge the gap between the hearing and the Deaf worlds with a view to reduce the frequency of mental health conditions and suicide within our Deaf community.
- We can achieve this by providing families and professionals with the guidance they need to fully understand the implications of being Deaf in a hearing world.
- We aim to support the wellbeing of Deaf children and adolescents by providing information and education to those supporting them.
