This workshop is designed to support interpreters by using a trauma-informed approach to help recognize the impact of interpreting in stressful or traumatic situations. We’ll dive into some key psychological frameworks that shed light on physical, cognitive, and emotions stressors interpreters might face, and together we’ll explore ways to assess your own levels of burnout and compassion fatigue. You’ll also walk away with practical tools to boost your overall personal and professional wellness. Plus, in this special edition, we’ll create space to discuss the unique experiences of being an educational interpreter, providing space for discussion and peer support.
