First aid skills for the Deaf community

The project aims to improve the survival and physical health of the deaf community. Deaf people are not only extremely vulnerable due to their disability, but also have very limited access to safe education. When unexpected incidents happen, it is difficult for them to call for support from those around them due to communication barriers.

The project will reduce preventable deaths and injuries of deaf people by increasing the number of deaf people receiving first aid education using a combination of training formats.

The Center for the Deaf (PARD) was established with the mission of improving the capacity and awareness of the deaf community, helping deaf people become confident and take control of their own lives while raising awareness of society. Deaf community & sign language association.

SSVN Survival Skills (Survival Skills Vietnam) has partnered with PARD to bring first aid knowledge and skills to the deaf community to help reduce preventable casualties in this community.

The program is implemented with funding from the Australian Government’s Aus4Skills Program.
