Are you interested in helping the Breaking Barriers* research team put into practice messages that can improve the hearing healthcare journey for British Columbians? We are looking for volunteers this summer to help us design interventions tailored to primary care providers, which will be done over two virtual planning meetings. The key messages of the intervention that we are designing will come from the previous stages of the project: a literature review, survey, and focus groups.

We want all families to receive the best early intervention services for their d/Deaf and hard of hearing children.
