SignHealth Sign Health is the UK's only sign-language based service to help deaf people who have experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse. Deaf women are twice at risk of domestic abuse than hearing women. When sign language is the main way you communicate it can be very hard to get help. We offer a variety of support and advice through many variations. We support all Deaf people from different backgrounds and ethnicities. We cover all of England. To make a referral to Domestic Abuse Team, you can text on 07800 003421 or email on da@signhealth.org.uk Our office hours are 9am-5pm; Monday – Friday. If you would like to learn more about SignHealth services, we can arrange workshops for people (both Deaf and hearing) to attend. This can also be done in person, or through remote. We also offer Freedom Programme for survivors. |
