Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 6: Rachel Ong on mental health support for deaf persons
Singapore Sign Language interpretation must be made systematically available across mainstream mental health services, said MP Rachel Ong in parliament on Thursday (Mar 5). This includes counselling, social support centres and crisis response services. Ms Ong said the current lack of counsellors trained in Singapore Sign Language discourages help-seeking among people who are deaf and limits their privacy.
