Support for Parents

Becoming a parent is a profound and emotional journey, filled with joy, love, and the desire to protect and nurture your child. However, when your baby is diagnosed as deaf, it can introduce a new set of emotions such as confusion, sadness, fear, and worry. These feelings are entirely normal, and at Deafconnect, we are here to support you every step of the way.

Our experienced Children and Families Officers are available to visit you at home, offering independent, confidential advice and support tailored to your specific needs.

We are here to listen to your concerns, provide information about the resources available to you, and connect you with agencies that can offer additional help.
