Welcome to the DEAF webpage, we are a collaborative d/Deaf mental health research network. We work together on research projects to find out about and improve d/Deaf people’s mental health.

What do we do to tackle health inequalities?

We focus on researching emotional and mental health issues and know the importance of access for everyone. That’s why these words are part of our logo. Emotional health and access to health and support services have a real impact on d/Deaf people’s mental health.

We want to connect with people who are interested in improving d/Deaf people’s mental health. Through the network we apply for funding for research projects, provide training, encourage people to do research and ask for your ideas.
