NOTIS’ Community Interpreters Division presents

Interpreting for Psychosocial Evaluations

Presented by Robin Ragan

This is a pre-recorded workshop reformatted into on-demand.

Get familiar with the who, what, where, and why of a psychosocial evaluation from the context of nursing, social work, criminal and immigration law. Learn about the ways a psychosocial evaluation is different from mental health therapy. We will also cover the unique features of this type of evaluation so that the interpreter can anticipate the format and flow, ranging from syntax to emotionally charged content. Find out what skills you need for this type of interpretation and what you can do to improve those skills.  We will also practice with a mock script! 

Learning Goals:

• Describe the purpose of a  Psychosocial Evaluation in various contexts

• Anticipate the format and flow of a psychosocial evaluation

• Describe challenges interpreting for these sessions

• Name coping strategies for the interpreter

• Know how to get involved
