We envision a society where the hearing population understands, accepts and embraces the Deaf and hard of hearing. To bring together Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing Albertans with service and technology options to advance access and opportunity. A world where the Deaf, hard of hearing, and those at risk of hearing loss are recognized and respected so they can fully participate in society.
We’re looking for Peer Support volunteers who have lived experience in the challenges related to being hard of hearing to support others through their hearing loss journey. Someone who can personally relate to the challenges others may be encountering and support them through the process of learning new strategies, coping skills and offer encouragement.
If you are interested in using your life experience in these areas to benefit others, please reach out to Deaf & Hear Alberta’s Peer Coordinator by email at leslieb@deafandhearalberta.ca or info@deafandhearalberta.ca or call 403-284-6208.
