Course Description & Objectives

During this session, Trenton and Jeremy will lead mock scenarios that allow us to explore various decisions and processes influenced by teamwork dynamics within different situational contexts. Participants will have the opportunity to analyze and discuss the implications of these scenarios, including how their respective biases may exacerbate situations that can be oppressive toward some individuals. Ultimately, the goal is to foster a deeper understanding of how effective collaboration can improve interpreting practices and patient experiences.

Join us in this engaging conversation as we work together to identify strategies for building trust and enhancing teamwork in mental health interpreting.

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:

• “List a minimum of three ways teamwork dynamics can impact mental health interpreting scenarios.
• Identify a minimum of three strategies to build trust and enhance collaboration in mental health interpreting.
• Describe a minimum of two ways that facilitated dialogue can be used to elicit diverse perspectives and address power, privilege and oppression.”
