This free, virtual, 4-part series will enlighten interpreters of all skill levels from novice to seasoned interpreters. Student interpreters are encouraged to attend. Through lecture and group discussion, we will discover how to develop a positive working relationship between the mental health team and the ASL interpreter to foster positive mental health outcomes for Deaf clients. The presenter team includes a certified ASL Interpreter, Kara Bull, and 2 clinicians, Dr. Jerry Hayes and Dr. Maria O’Neil Ruddock.

Attendance at all sessions is not mandatory; participants must register for each session individually. Sessions will take place on Zoom.
