Medical Interpreter Training

This in-depth training course provides participants with essential principles, methods, and competencies (both knowledge and skills-based) for delivering effective, reliable, and comprehensive interpretation in clinical and human service settings. The course explores contemporary issues in the field of medical interpretation including immigration trends, legal mandates, and certification.

Suicide Prevention

Troubling statistics indicate that death by suicide is rising at an alarming rate and increasingly impacting racial/ethnic minorities. In communities of color, cultural factors combined with race-related stressors known to negatively impact mental health present special challenges. CHI offers suicide prevention workshops that are for the general population and specifically for community health workers.
