A support network of passionate deaf adults, helping and inspiring deaf teens to reach their full potential in life.
Hear For You is a unique community that offers support and guidance to teenagers living with deafness or hearing loss. Hear For You was created by Olivia Anderson who is deaf, and is run by people who are deaf, for young people who are deaf. We provide a fully inclusive, safe environment for teenagers to be themselves and interact with others who understand what they are going through.
We provide a range of workshops designed to offer support and guidance on issues such as communication and advocacy in a fun and interactive environment. Hear For You provides the opportunities for deaf/ hard of hearing teenagers to connect with their peers and to access advice from adult mentors who have been through the same journey. Deafness is removed as a point of difference at Hear For You.
All of our adult mentors and facilitators are living with hearing loss – having walked in your shoes – they are dedicated to improving the lives of future generations.
Having a sense of belonging is crucial to well-being and we’re proud to provide that for teenagers who are deaf or have hearing loss.
