Deafness Resource Centre - I CAN Project

The I CAN project is a brand-new project delivered by the Deafness Resource Centre, working across Merseyside to support people of all ages who experience deafness and hearing loss.

Areas we cover are: St Helens, Halton, Sefton, Liverpool, Wirral, Knowsley.

The project is aimed at supporting families from the point of diagnosis and throughout their journey by providing impartial information and guidance on issues relating to a range of situations. The services are available across St Helens, Liverpool, Knowsley, Halton and Sefton offering support through a total communication approach.

The project will also involve delivering fun and engaging activities for children and young people that can help to increase confidence and motivation and provide opportunities to meet new people and engage with their peers.

The I CAN project will provide support for the whole family delivering activities such as family sign sessions, social and youth groups and Happy Hands a family support group for children under 10 years old and their parents and carers.

Support can be accessed through a referral form and process.
