Deaf Survivor Services
For Deaf survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.
Crisis support and ongoing advocacy. Led by Deaf advocates.
In ASL. On your terms.
When you reach Deaf Survivor Services, you reach a Deaf advocate who shares your language and your community. We’re here for the crisis in front of you right now - and for the longer journey afterward.
What We Do
Crisis Support
Immediate support. Safety planning. Emotional care. Connection to local services if you need them.
Co-Advocacy
When you’re working with other providers - a shelter, a hospital, or a court advocate - we can work with them too, so you don’t have to navigate two systems alone.
Referrals
When you need something we can’t provide, we’ll help you find it. Whenever possible, we continue supporting you as you connect with other services.
Three ways. Whichever feels safest to you.
How to Reach Us
Every option connects you directly with a Deaf advocate.
Safe, accessible, and confidential.
