Signhealth's BSL Health Video Library has lots of resources about mental health challenges and things you can do to start to feel more like yourself again, including self help and information about psychological therapy.
This 24/7 service enables you make a video call to a BSL interpreter using your computer and webcam or the SignVideo app. The interpreter telephones an NHS 111 adviser and relays your conversation with them. The adviser will assess your symptoms and give you the advice you need or direct you to the local service that can help you best.
Deaf4deaf from DisabilityPlus offers specialist counselling services in BSL, for people with hearing loss and CODA counselling, with NHS and Private options.
