Tailor-made supportive services in parenting for deaf parents

  

The venture aims to assist deaf parents in identifying and overcoming challenges related to parenting through tailor-made supportive services, including training workshops and counselling services, designed by professional social workers.

The project team is formed by children of deaf parents. Team members have first-hand experience in growing up in deaf families and thus have a good understanding of the needs of these families.
