The project seeks to enhance psychological literacy among the deaf community by providing accessible learning resources. By offering sign language-supported materials, it aims to remove barriers in mental health education, foster awareness and reduce stigma. Additionally, the project intends to empower deaf individuals to access psychological support when needed while equipping educators and professionals with effective tools to better support deaf learners.

We will develop an interactive e-learning portal designed for deaf individuals, featuring accessible psychological literacy content. The project includes creating structured learning themes that cover essential mental health topics in sign language. We will organize dissemination and outreach events to share project outcomes with stakeholders and ensure broader access. The e-learning portal will remain available for long years, providing long-term benefits for the deaf community.

We expect to improve psychological literacy among deaf individuals and help them understand emotions, stress and mental well-being more effectively. The e-learning portal will remain accessible for six years to allow continuous access to educational content. By sharing project outcomes through dissemination events, we aim to ensure that the materials reach a broader audience and contribute to better mental health awareness and accessibility for the deaf community.
