Where can interpreters find resources and training on working with deaf people in mental health settings?
Interpreters can explore programs like the Mental Health Interpreter Training (MHIT) and the Deaf Wellness Center’s curriculum for specialized training. Online resources and self-paced courses are also available through the CATIE Center, CALI, and the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID). These programs help interpreters understand mental health terminology, support deaf people with diverse language needs, and practice self-care after challenging assignments.
