Building services without barriers for the deaf community
Mental healthcare services should be easily accessible for anyone who requires care. Although, in practice, the deaf and hard of hearing community often experience inequities, face communication barriers, find it difficult to access services, and consequently, have poorer health and treatment outcomes. In this seminar, we will look at what mental health services can do to deliver equitable care.
