Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Humboldt County currently has an interpretation program to assist clients with Limited English Proficiency needs who seek local mental health services. This working alliance of the mental health provider, the mental health interpreter, and the client currently has no systematic support for mental health interpreters to reduce and cope with secondary trauma. The purpose of this project is to provide a resource guide on best clinical practices regarding this working alliance, the implementation of an Interpreter Coordinator for the county, and systemic structural recommendations in order to reduce secondary trauma among mental health interpreters.
