Virginia Department for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (VDDHH) Outreach Providers
VDDHH’s network of Outreach Providers sponsors workshops, support groups and training sessions to help all Virginians—including caregivers, public safety officials and business professionals—learn more about hearing loss and ways to communicate with those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Staff members also assist new Virginia Relay users and their families and friends.

To request assistance, contact the Outreach Provider nearest you, or contact the Virginia Department for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (VDDHH), for a referral at frontdsk@vddhh.virginia.gov.
