Welcome to DeafLEAD

DeafLEAD was founded to provide Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Late-Deafened, and DeafBlind individuals comprehensive, unified, and continuous support. 

We proudly serve individuals and their families with a trauma-informed approach as they navigate severe distress, disaster, or being the victim of a crime. Our staff and volunteers give emotional support and access to resources to allow people to thrive.


All are Welcomed and Supported Here

While DeafLEAD was initially founded with the goal of supporting Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Late-Deafened, and DeafBlind individuals, we will not turn away anyone who contacts us through our various call, chat, text, and videophone crisis lines.

We provide an array of services, including crisis intervention, safety planning, mental health support services, advocacy, and much more.

Continuing our Mission

DeafLEAD was founded in 1995 and began out of a need to further support and manage a substance use prevention camp for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind teens. Through nearly 30 years of service, we have been a Deaf-Centric organization, working to provide the best quality services to the Deaf community.
