Why Us

There is a general lack of expertise about sign language interpreting among professionals that makes it difficult for interpreters to find assistance in managing the day-to-day stressors, demands and traumatic exposure that is inherent in interpreting. We have been providing therapy, training, and support to sign language interpreters for 25 years.

Who We Are

Resiliency Resources is a multi-disciplinary team of professionals trained to provide specialized services to interpreters.

What We Do

Resiliency Resources focuses on the human factor in interpreting. We serve as a resource for interpreters by offering counseling, mentoring, debriefing, consulting, and training to assist and support them in enhancing the quality of their lives while they perform this demanding work.
