Help for Deaf People with Mental Health Issues

We are delighted to launch our new service for people who are deaf and experiencing common mental health issues (eg depression and anxiety). Deaf people are more likely to experience mental health problems than the population in general. It is estimated that between 40 to 50% of deaf people will experience a mental health problem at some point in their life – compared to 25% among the hearing population.
 

We have employed a co-ordinator (funded by Birmingham PCTs) to assess and signpost people who are deaf and experiencing mental health issues to appropriate services.
