RID HQ is an approved RID CMP Sponsor for continuing education activities. Developing a trauma-informed approach enables interpreters to provide more compassionate and effective support within the learning environment. In this workshop, we'll discuss how to frame our interpreting work in educational settings with a trauma-informed lens. Using the theories of the Hierarchy of Needs and the Trauma-Recovery Model, we will identify signs of stress and trauma and how they might show up in our work. We'll identify tools to incorporate into our personal and professional practice that allow us to navigate stress with empathy during the interpreting process.
