Vicarious Trauma: The Interpreter's Silent Struggle

"Vicarious Trauma: The Interpreter's Silent Struggle" is an online course designed for interpreters working in mental health. It was created to address the issue of interpreters being vicariously traumatized by graphic and distressing anecdotes conveyed by mental health clients and patients. This program delves into the psychological effects of interpreting emotionally challenging content and equips interpreters with strategies to cope with such challenges. Participants will learn to navigate the emotional impact of interpreting traumatic experiences, fostering a supportive community and setting personal boundaries. The course emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and self-awareness in interpreting roles, and of fostering a supportive community for interpreters to share their experiences and best practices. Join us to enhance coping strategies that will support your work with the mental and well-being of refugees and migrants. © Kin-nection, 2025 This work is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
