Careif invites you to celebrate the launch of the second edition of Working with Interpreters in Mental Health, edited by Professor Rachel Tribe, Dr Kate Thompson and Dr Hitesh Raval. Join us on Thursday 17 September at the University of East London for short talks, a live interpreting demonstration and networking, with copies of the book available at a discounted rate.

Dr Kate Thompson and Professor Rachel Tribe (Chair of Careif) led a well-received workshop at the British Psychological Society's Division of Counselling Psychology conference in Manchester. They made the case that working effectively with interpreters is a vital leadership skill for clinicians — one that prevents language discrimination and ensures equitable access to mental health services.

On 22 April, the Oxfordshire-based charity Refugee Resource invited Careif to deliver a training session for their Counselling and Psychotherapy Team on Working with Interpreters and across cultures in Mental Health and, specifically, in trauma-informed counselling sessions.

Careif Chair, Professor Rachel Tribe, visited India and Sri Lanka in the spring after receiving invitations to run workshops or give talks there. She had a very successful trip which included giving a keynote talk at the International Conference on Counselling and Psychotherapy (ICCP) 2026 in Bangalore, India.

On 19 June, Professor Rachel Tribe (Chair of Careif) is co-chairing an online webinar which will bring together leading experts to discuss children’s mental health in armed conflict, displacement, and war.

On 16 April, Professor Rachel Tribe (Chair of Careif) is chairing an event at the University of East London (UEL) which will bring together leading experts to discuss the mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of refugees.

Careif are pleased to be involved in offering a new event on 24 March which will provide free training for psychologists and interpreters working within mental health. The event will provide a free joint training workshop for both psychologists and interpreters. Both groups will have an opportunity to discuss their respective roles and learn from each other.

Geopsychiatry is an exciting field that focuses on the interface between geopolitical events and their impact on the practice of psychiatry across all ages and subspecialities. Careif are delighted to be involved in an upcoming webinar: A Geopsychiatry Perspective on Research, Policy, and Practice that will take place on 26 January 2026, 2pm.

Careif recently supported a successful event to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr Suman Fernando. This was a hybrid event, which attracted an international audience and speakers who attended in person and online.

Careif is delighted to be an official partner of Unspoken - a mental health film festival, which will be screening a number of films in London throughout October.
