The Reality of Suicide: What Interpreters Need to Know

Suicide is a topic that we aren't comfortable talking about until we absolutely have to, and as suicide deaths continue to climb, we need to be prepared when faced with this topic in our personal and professional lives.

Presented by an interpreter sibling suicide loss survivor, and a certified deaf interpreter, this training will be an open and honest conversation about what folks need to know: facts, statistics, appropriate language (ASL & English), warning signs, risk factors, terminology, myths, and resources.

We will also talk about different kinds of pain, risk factors & warning signs for Deaf youth and seniors, and working with attempt and loss survivors. Join us for this hard, but very important conversation. 

Interpreters and members of the Deaf community are welcome!
