Interpreting Mental Health Services II

The first part of this training will address mental health diagnoses and treatment. Learners will gain a basic understanding of common mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and post-traumatic stress disorder. Learners will then get an overview of more complex diagnoses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and eating disorders, as well as tips and tricks for interpreting in sessions where people experience symptoms of any of the above- mentioned diagnoses. The training will address importance of transparency when interpreting in these sessions, as well as ways to help mental health providers attune to concerns interpreters are picking up on. The second half of this training will educate around common substance use disorders, and elements of successful treatment for substance use. Learners will gain a basic understanding of dual diagnosis treatment and how interpreters can support clinicians doing this work.
