When she moved to Vancouver, she began specializing in mental health interpreting and continued for approximately 14 years.

This four-hour practical workshop will focus on some of the skills needed to interpret psychotherapy. There will be an introduction to best practices in this setting, with examples and time for discussion. Then, we will work with two videotaped mock psychotherapy sessions, enacted by an actual therapist and two different Deaf clients. You will work in a small group, with an instructor present to offer feedback. Each participant will have the opportunity to interpret 10 – 15 minutes of each of the sessions.
This is a great opportunity for interpreters experienced in this setting, as well as for those new to it. Maximum 16 participants. Working interpreters only.
