We are proud partners of Stop Deaf Suicide, Eagles Corner, Green Door Auslan, Auslan Alliance and Deaf Chef Ross.

Stop Deaf Suicide aims to remove the barriers Australia’s Deaf community face in accessing mental health and suicide prevention services.

Stop Deaf Suicide’s first initiative, a conference bursary program, focused on improving the professional development opportunities for Deaf and hard of hearing people working in mental health and suicide prevention, and raising awareness of Deaf mental health and suicide prevention among the mainstream suicide prevention sector.

The conference bursary program was launched in 2018 and so far has supported five Deaf and hard of hearing people to attend the National Suicide Prevention Conference, the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Conference and the World Indigenous Suicide Prevention Conference.

 

Karli Health Centre has partnered with Eagles Corner, which is a recovery program servicing people who are Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing.  Click here to watch a video in Auslan about Eagles Corner.
