Deaf Survivors in Indiana Find Services

Deaf and Hard of Hearing folks in Indiana remain under-served by the vast majority of intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV) intervention and primary prevention initiatives across the nation. Under the leadership of Holly Elkins, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Outreach Coordinator, the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV) provides training and technical assistance to IPV/SV programs in the state to increase cultural competency and accessibility across the Coalition’s member programs.

Visit the ICADV webpage to read more about the Deaf and Hard of Hearing program and be sure to watch and share the 5 ASL videos for survivors. The videos were made with the deliberate intention to be easily accessible and viewable for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people.
