“The trauma of violence for Deaf survivors can be isolating, but it doesn't have to be," said Tiffany Williams, Executive Director of ADWAS, who runs the National Deaf Hotline Center.
CSD, ADWAS, and the national coalition of deaf advocacy program providers are committed to making sure that every Deaf and Hard of hearing survivor has access to a Deaf advocate that can communicate with them directly in American Sign Language, no matter when they need help, or where they experience violence.
Batya Harlow, office manager at Abused Deaf Women's Advocacy Services (ADWAS) in Seattle, admits she lacks computer skills.
ADWAS pays NPower a membership fee of $100, a significant savings compared to consulting costs.
