Self-directed online training

Event description

This free, self-paced learning module is designed to promote, support and enhance mental health practitioners' work with interpreters, across a range of mental health settings.

Divided into four sections, ‘Orientate’, ‘Practice’, ‘Steps’ and 'Resources', this resource gives an overview of roles, policy and accreditation standards; practice implications for the client, family, practitioner, and interpreter; and a step-by-step guide to the process from booking an interpreter to debriefing after the session.

VTMH reviewed and revised Working Effectively with Interpreters in Mental Health Settings, developed in 2006, to create this new resource.
