Our esteemed guest speakers will equip you with valuable tools and insights on how to approach assignments that involve delicate situations. You'll gain the wisdom to recognize when, as interpreters, we might unwittingly become a trigger, and you'll learn vocabulary strategies to convey specific terms in a more general manner to avoid re-traumatization.
