A advanced skills workshop delivered face to face explores advanced skills for practitioners working with interpreters in mental health setting
Using a variety of facilitation modes, grounded in a reflective practice approach, the workshop provides learners with the opportunity to explore challenges and realities in the interpreting environment and to understand these within broader cultural responsiveness frameworks, including an intersectional lens. The workshop also invites and promotes strategies for adapting practice for working with interpreters in a variety of mental health settings.
The workshop is designed around the materials created as part of the Approaching work with interpreters in mental health settings project (VTMH, 2019). The resources developed through the project used a co-design process, involving a variety of stakeholders including consumers, carers, interpreters, clinicians and academics, across the project lifespan.
Participants will receive hard copies of resources developed in the project Approaching work with interpreters in mental health settings (VTMH, 2019), including a Practice Tips Poster, Tri-Fold Booklet and Report after completion of the workshop.
Catering will also be provided.
