Dear ALMHI Group Member:

As a mechanism for us to share and gain knowledge related to
interpreting in mental health settings, ALMHI will facilitate an on-
line discussion concerning articles related to the field on the
ALMHI group area at Yahoogroups.com.

Our second article is entitled "Umm, the Interpreter Didn't Understand":
Interpreting for Individuals with Thought Disorders by Tracie Karlin,
Eastern Region Interpreter, Department of Mental Health, St. Louis,
Missouri.



For those interested in participating, you can find the article on the
ALMHI yahoogroups site. You will need to locate and read the article
prior to the discussion, so that you will have a chance to bring your
ideas, questions, and concerns to the chat room. If you have difficulty
securing the article, feel free to contact ODS for assistance.

Steve Hamerdinger, Director of the Office of Deaf Services, with the
Alabama Department of Mental Health will be joining us as our
resident expert to help facilitate the event. The discussion is
scheduled for May 29, 2003 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (CST) I hope that
you
will join us!

-Charlene
