The aim of the network is to connect people who are interested in d/Deaf mental health research.  BSMHD collaborated with Julia Terry at Swansea University to start this group.

The competition was judged by Cathie Robins-Talbot (Talking Hands children young people and family service), Dr Sara Rhys-Jones (Swansea Bay University Health Board), Amy New (National Deaf Children’s Society – with contributions from Deaf young people), Kate Galloway (RNID), Paul Redfern (BSMHD) plus Penny Lauder from the funder (CHERISH DE).

The judges were impressed with the winning entries, and thought that using the words d/Deaf,  emotional, access and focus helps describe the issues this mental health research network will target. Here is the network’s new logo:
