Please join us for a 2-hour virtual training/discussion on the topics of trauma, vicarious trauma, and self-care for interpreters.
Date: Thursday, June 27, 2024 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
If you are able, please offer a donation of any amount you’d like to help cover the operating costs of our diverse departmental offerings, or even perhaps for an interpreter who cannot otherwise afford to pay for training.
This training is for all levels of experience; from beginners to those with years of experience who want to brush up on the basics. There will be activities and discussion. Active participation is expected from attendees. Robert Thoren will serve as course instructor.
