Intro to Deaf/Hearing Teams in Behavioral Health Interpreting webshop

April 2, 2019

Because behavioral health work assesses what is happening in the brain based on language and behavior, it is critical to be able to recognize if a person’s language is impacted by behavioral health factors, or factors unique to being deaf.

That’s where certified Deaf interpreter (CDI) and certified hearing interpreter (CHI) teams are crucial for good service. Teaming successfully in complex situations can be difficult.

This webshop discusses why and how we advocate for CDI/CHI teams, and provides suggestions for effective teaming strategies with the core principles of respect, relationship, trust, and communication.
