We are the first Parent-Centered organization dedicated to empowering and educating parents of deaf and hard of hearing children, as well as deaf parents.

WeCare Deaf Support Network was officially registered as a Non Profit Organization on September 5 2013. We are the first parent- centered organization dedicated to empowering and educating parents of deaf and hard of hearing children, as well as deaf parents by providing parents access to resources,skills,information, support services, literacy and cultural awareness as a critical component of our advocacy goals. Our goal as a Deaf - Centered organization is to assist in removing social barriers, and improving the quality of life for all deaf parents, and parents of deaf and hard of hearing children from diagnosis and throughout all stages of life. We strive to ally with the deaf and hard of hearing community as a whole to raise up their social presence in the world at large.

Today we took another step in promoting healthier hearing through our Hearing Screening Initiative.

Good hearing plays an important role in how we communicate, work, and enjoy everyday life. A simple hearing screening can help detect concerns early and encourage timely care.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made hearing health a priority today. Together, we’re creating healthier, more informed workplace.

What an incredible two weeks for WeCare Deaf Support Network! 🤟💚

We began by strengthening our capacity through training in Early Childhood Education(ECCE), equipping members of our team with new knowledge to expand and enhance our Early Intervention Programme for Deaf and Hard of Hearing children and their families.

The week continued with the Caribbean Deaf Education Conference, starting with a memorable pre-conference cultural evening at Renegades Steel Orchestra, where many of our Deaf participants had the opportunity to learn and play a few notes on the steelpan.

From Thursday to Saturday, we participated in inspiring conference sessions, shared WeCare’s work through our presentation and expo booth, and celebrated Caribbean collaboration at the conference dinner.

We ended the week with visits to two of Trinidad and Tobago’s treasures, Maracas Beach and the Caroni Bird Sanctuary creating lasting memories with friends and colleagues from across the region.

These past two weeks have been filled with learning, collaboration, culture, and connection. Today we are inspired and even more committed to advancing Deaf education and strengthening support for the Deaf children, adults, and their families.

The journey continues. 💚🤟

We were humbled by the positive feedback, thoughtful questions, possibilities of partnership and the many compliments about WeCare’s work within the Deaf community.

A heartfelt thank you to Mary Bastien for standing alongside me and for your invaluable support throughout this journey. Your dedication and partnership helped make today’s presentation a success.
