Workshops - Indigenous Deafness and Mental Health

Workshops are FREE and provide information to health professionals and carers about deafness, and its implications in the mental health field. The workshops create awareness amongst providers to become more 'deaf-friendly', and in doing so improve outcomes for Indigenous Deaf or hearing impaired people.

Depending on the audience, the workshops range from 1 hour to a full day and provide information on:

• Understanding the culture of Indigenous Deaf people
• Implications for Indigenous people with a hearing loss in mental health - Practical strategies
• How services can improve access to Indigenous people with a hearing loss
• How and why it is important to use interpreters
