Today is a reminder to pause, connect, and check in with those around us.

Take a moment to be kind to yourself and to others. 💚

Mental health matters and so does communication.

For many Deaf and Hard of Hearing people, feeling isolated or misunderstood can make life’s challenges even harder.

That’s why we’re committed to breaking down barriers and creating safe spaces where everyone can be seen, heard, and supported.

Let’s keep showing kindness in every conversation spoken, signed, or written.

Together, we can make sure no one faces their struggles alone.



Heddiw, cymerwch eiliad i cysylltu, a gofyn sut mae’r bobl o’ch cwmpas yn teimlo.

Cymerwch foment i fod yn garedig gyda chi’ch hun ac ag eraill. 💚

Mae iechyd meddwl yn bwysig.

I lawer o bobl Fyddar a Thrwm eu Clyw, gall unigrwydd neu deimlad o gael eich camddeall gwneud heriau bywyd yn teimlo’n drymach.

Dyna pam rydyn ni'n gweithio i dorri’r rhwystrau. I greu llefydd diogel lle gall pawb gael eu gweld, eu clywed, a’u cefnogi.

Gadewch inni barhau i ddangos caredigrwydd ym mhob sgwrs.

Gyda’n gilydd, gallwn sicrhau nad oes neb yn wynebu eu heriau ar eu pen eu hunain.
