The British Society for Mental Health and Deafness (BSMHD) is the society for the promotion of the positive mental health of deaf people in Britain.

Mental health includes healthy emotional, psychological and social development, the prevention and treatment of mental illness and other disorders. BSMHD focuses on those whose first or preferred language is sign language. Additionally BSMHD is interested in the mental health of all deaf people, whatever the age of onset or degree of deafness.

The main activities of the society are to support, develop and deliver training opportunities for professionals working in mental health and deafness; co-ordinate a series of open meetings held at venues across the country to which members are given access to examples of innovative developments; regular eNewsletters providing information and promoting knowledge of the services available and of latest research in the field and supplemented by regular email updates; an Annual Conference showcasing examples of good practice from across the country; a website as a central point of information for all matters relating to mental health and deafness. BSMHD also supports the Healthy Deaf Minds meetings in London.
