Sacred Heart Hospital, Rotunda
851 University Dr. (off of W. Clairemont Ave.)
Eau Claire, WI

A structured support/consultation small-group discussion session.

 

Who Should Attend

Any interpreter working in emotionally or psychologically highly-charged settings.

You and fellow interpreters will utilize “collegial support” as a means to reduce and prevent the occurrence of secondary trauma reactions that may result from repeated exposure to potentially traumatizing information.

This will be a structured support/consultation small-group discussion session. You will complete a set of 22 pre- and post-assessment questions that will anonymously rate your level of comfort in mental health settings, personal exposure to mental health work, strategies for self-care, knowledge of basic mental health interventions, interpreting tools and psychological awareness
