- Resilience - being better able to cope and deal with difficult episodes and times
- Empathy - identifying oneself completely with someone who has been through similar situations
- Empowerment - challenging negative perceptions of deafness and reinforcing pre-existing positive attributes
- Openness - being more receptive to positive experiences and more open to learning and creating an enquiring mind

- Optimism - providing opportunities to expand life’s horizon
