ODHH: BHI Interpreter Track

The Behavioral Health Initiative (BHI) has developed an interpreter track designed to provide training to American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters to gain the necessary competencies for working in behavioral and mental health settings. You will find trainings on introductory and advanced topics, as well as links to various outside resources that may help you attain additional skills. There are currently no certificates or credentials for completing the BHI modules. To see goals of phase two of the interpreter track, go to our About BHI webpage.
