British Sign Language is the first language of
between 4-6,000 people in Scotland. Mental health matters to all
sections of the population, so SAMH wants to help
ensure that Deaf and Deafblind people who use British Sign Language
are able to access information about mental health.
This page provides information in British Sign
Language about keeping well, accessing services and
understanding common terms used in relation to mental health
problems. There are English translations beneath each of the
videos.
You can find more British Sign Language videos
about mental health at the Deaf Information website. Be aware
though that some of the information on policy relates to England
and Wales only.
You can find out more about mental
health and deafness from the following organisations:
Action on Hearing Loss Scotland
Scottish Council on Deafness
