Mental Health Interpreting is an important and emerging field; the

community based services are imperative for the well-being of Deaf &
Hard of Hearing people needing mental health services. The Alabama
Department of Mental Health & Mental Retardation, Office of Deaf
Services, is a pioneer in this field and has successfully trained and
certified numerous interpreters through the Mental Health Interpreter
Institute. Through their efforts, and the Registry of Interpreters for
the Deaf (RID), a baccalaureate program in this field is being studied.
The Deaf community stands to benefit greatly from these efforts!

• Session 1; Mental Health Interpreter Institute, Montgomery AL June
4-8, 2007.
• Session 2; Mental Health Interpreter Institute, Montgomery AL Sept.
2007 (TBD).

• Internship (following Session 2) and Comps
