"Sign Language Saves Lives" Crew Neck (Earth Tones)

May is Mental Health Awareness Month - Did you know that deaf individuals are at a higher risk for mental health issues (at least twice as likely) than the general population? This is largely in part due to lack of access to language as well as communication barriers which leads to language deprivation, social isolation, trauma & abuse, identity crisis, discrimination, and lack of access to information/mental health services. A few facts: 90% of deaf children are born to hearing families and only roughly 20% of those families learn sign language for their child. Even fewer families ever learn sign language to the extent where they can have in-depth conversations with their child. Sign Language = 100% access Access leads to communication which leads to connection which leads to better socio-emotional skills which leads to improved overall mental health Sign Language Saves Lives!
