Mental Health 

Deaf people experience high levels of mental ill health.
​
This section is currently being re-written to provide information about deaf people's experiences of mental health difficulties, wellbeing and access to mental health information.
​
We will also be providing up to date and verified information about where deaf people can access specialist help from mental health services from the NHS and other places.
​
As a first step, if you, or someone you know, needs urgent help about a mental health problem, please get in touch with the local NHS services.
