Sigrid and Louise are creating resources for Deaf and Hard-of-hearing people to help navigate health systems and to improve language, cognition, executive functioning, social skills, and improve relationships.

How we can help:

We have on-demand video education modules and written English resources to help you advocate for the support you need. Ask your support coordinator if you have funding for our education modules, or contact us directly for more information. 

Our on-demand video education modules are designed to help families and carers to understand deafness and hearing loss from multiple perspectives and with the different impacts this can have over the lifespan. This understanding can help families appreciate the importance of language access, communication strategies, and learning Auslan.

We also have some written resources to help you advocate for the support you need. Ask your support coordinator if you have funding for our education modules, or contact us directly for more information. 

We have a network of graduates across Australia who have completed modules and we can assist in connecting you with culturally attuned NDIS, health, mental health, and medical supports.

We have templates and tip sheets for workplaces, for assisting with plan reviews, evidence support, and the language of reports in this sector. Contact us to book a consultation appointment  

There are some great Deaf led, Deaf aware and ally programs that we can direct you to, depending on what you're looking for.  

Our goal is to collaborate and cooperate in this space. If you are doing great work in this area, let us know so we can support each other.

We've put together a video summary to help you when you're having conversations with your support networks. 

This video is an introduction to some of the main differences between mental health supports, funding options (Australia) and access (self vs referral). 

It's in Auslan and English and you can hit the CC button for captions. 

Disclaimer: We know we haven't covered everything. This is an introduction to a very complex area. It covers just a few of the basics and you might get different information from your own research and support networks. Always do your own research and follow the advice of your own professional networks.
