Psychological Health and Deafblindness – Deafblind, Scientific, and Clinical Perspectives (webinar)
Funksjonshinder
Last year the Nordic definition of Deafblindness was revised, in which it was emphasized: “There is a high risk that the physical and psychological health, as well as social life will be affected.”. But what is psychological health, and how does it relate to mental health? How does living with a combined vision and hearing loss affect psychological health, and how can it be supported?
