Cultivating Connections with Care
TGM’s Connect2Care project is dedicated to providing sign language interpreters with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively navigate mental health related work and self-care. The project seeks to address the gap in training for sign language interpreters when it comes to mental health topics, both for their own self-care and for the benefit of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals they work with.

SUNDAY APRIL 23, 2023 10AM-3PM IN PERSON, DENTON TX

Assessments covered in this training include a variety of standardized tests commonly used in mental health, academic, social services, & medical settings. Collaborative training includes test administration procedures, common issues and challenges, and how to engage with a psychologist or other test administrator during an assessment.
Interpreters will work alongside clinicians to practice developing working relationships, communicating about test procedures, and providing cultural and contextual interpreting in real time.

Interpreters may choose to be recorded during mock testing procedures in order to receive direct feedback from interpreter educators. Recordings and feedback will be provided within 14 days of the training to allow time for individual review.
