Charlene Crump and Roger Williams will be presenting their Swimming with Sharks Level I + II mental health training for interpreters. Interpreting in the Mental Health setting is arguably the most challenging setting for sign language interpreters. This workshop will provide the beginning interpreter with techniques specific to the mental health setting. These will include sign-to-voice interpreting of disordered form, applying the RID Code of Professional Conduct and coping with transference and countertransference issues. Attention will also be given to the emotional issues, both intra- and inter-psychic which the mental health setting can bring to the fore.
