Why This Matters
Educational interpreters often witness difficult conversations, heartbreaking disclosures, and deeply personal moments. While compassion is an important part of the profession, repeatedly carrying the emotional weight of students’ experiences can quietly affect your well-being. This course explores how to recognize vicarious trauma, maintain healthy boundaries, and build habits that support a long, healthy career.

Are You Carrying More Than You Should?
• Do I think about students long after the school day ends? • Am I carrying responsibilities that belong to the educational team? • Can I recognize the warning signs of emotional overload? • What support systems help me process difficult situations? • How can I continue caring without becoming consumed? The goal isn’t to care less. The goal is to care without carrying everything.
