🧡 Happy Valentines Day from Deaf Victoria ❤️
Relationships can be hard to understand and manage. We’ve also seen that there aren’t many well-known resources in the Deaf community about how to recognise unhealthy relationships, how to leave them safely, or what healthy relationships should look like. Deaf people and people with disability are also at higher risk of experiencing abuse than hearing, able‑bodied people.
That’s why we have created a new page with deaf-friendly information and resources to help you learn about these topics.
