"As long as we have Deaf people on Earth, we will have signs...
our beautiful Sign Language is the noblest gift God has given to
Deaf people."

-George W. Veditz

Health & Wellness Counselling Services



NLAD is pleased to announce that we have received continued funding that will be used to provide Health & Wellness Counselling Services.


Health & Wellness Counselling Services will provide a friendly, confidential and non-judgmental environment where individuals who are culturally Deaf can find support and encouragement for the many problems that can happen during the path of life. Talking with a Registered Psychologist who knows American Sign Language can help with negative thoughts and feelings, suffering from mental illness, and/or addictions. Working together, Health & Wellness Counselling helps people to find a healthy, well-balanced future. Health & Wellness Counselling Services offers assistance to individuals dealing with:



  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Deaf Identity
  • Abuse
  • Trauma
  • Feeling Lonely
  • Grief & Loss
  • Addictions
  • Family Problems
  • Life Changes (new job, relationships, health concerns)
