What:

Meet and Greet and a 2 hour workshop by Dan Langholtz, “Vicarious Trauma- Potential Hazards and Interventions for Interpreters”.

This workshop will reveal how it is inevitable that in our interpreting work we encounter difficult, challenging and disruptive situations. We may feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or angry when things turn out to be detrimental to our performances. This constant experience can affect our skills and stamina if not treated properly. The term, Vicarious Trauma, as it is called, was coined about 20 years ago. Vicarious Trauma does exist in other helping professions.  We will examine vicarious trauma – understand and recognize its impact on our interpreting profession. We will compare vicarious trauma experienced in other professions with ours. Participants will look at interpreting events and settings that may have high risks for causing vicarious traumas. Strategies for coping with vicarious trauma will be presented & reviewed and how they correlate with the Code of Professional Conduct.

CEUs provided free to interpreters who RSVP!
