My Sisters’ Place is thrilled to announce that our staff are trained and equipped to provide services and support to survivors in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community in Westchester County. Following a 3-year capacity-building initiative led by our Linking Communities Collaboration, MSP is prepared to offer accessible and culturally-appropriate services to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community through all of our program areas, including Family Services (counseling, advocacy and safety planning), Center for Legal Services (family and immigration law), Residential Services (emergency shelter and crisis intervention) and Human Trafficking.
MSP is also working with New York School for the Deaf to provide Healthy Relationships workshops in ASL for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students.
Funded by the Office of Violence Against Women’s Training and Services to End Violence Against Women with Disabilities Grant Program, MSP is in the Linking Communities with two collaboration partners, New York School for the Deaf and New York-Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health Center’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program.
If you have any questions, please contact Brintha Jeyalingam, Senior Director of Residental and Outreach Services at bjeyalingam@mspny.org.
