Course Description

Mental illness and offensive behavior often cause the legal and medical fields to overlap. This webinar aims to help prepare interpreters to deliver precise, complete interpretations even in situations involving mentally ill subjects who may use unusual, varied, incoherent, inarticulate, or emotional speech, with the goal of removing language barriers that could lead to injustice or misdiagnosis.
