Deaf Services
We offer consultations and advice to local, regional and national care providers.
We adopt models of recovery and wellbeing and undertake assessments and work with people experiencing:
- complex psychological difficulties such as anxiety and depressive disorders
- enduring and severe mental illnesses
- mental health problems complicated by deaf issues and identities
- possible needs of mental health services/care outside Nottinghamshire
People wanting more information about deafness and health should visit the Sign Health website.
