​

Postpartum Depression is a complex mental health condition that is particularly putting at risk immigrant mothers who do not speak the language of the new country. Insight into cultural beliefs about mental ill health is of utmost importance in these situations, as cultural expectations around motherhood and family roles may impact how postpartum depression is perceived and addressed within a community. Interpreters, being part of that community, should be sensitive to the emotional state of the person they are interpreting for, and be prepared to convey potentially difficult or sensitive information while maintaining professionalism.

Vicarious Trauma for Interpreters encourages participants to prioritize their well-being and contribute to the ongoing dialogue within the interpreting community.

​

• Compare and contrast stress and vicarious trauma for interpreters

• Practice relaxation techniques for before, during, and after a session

​

Exposure to abuse and other adverse experiences increases a person’s lifelong potential for serious health problems; little to no self-esteem; a deep, pervasive sadness; problems bonding with others; and a tendency towards self-destruction. Unfortunately, because emotional abuse is often tolerated or because the abusive parents are very secretive in their abuse, emotionally abused children will assume that how they were treated at home was normal. Therefore, it is important for people, especially those working with such individuals, to be mindful of the fact that so many people come to a healthcare interaction with a history of trauma of abuse. 

​

By understanding a patient’s life experiences and working alongside trained healthcare providers, we as interpreters can contribute to an effective care plan that can offer those with Limited English Proficiency a chance to rebuild the connections and trust that were fractured by abuse and betrayal. Please note that the content provided in this workshop is for informational purposes only and does not replace professional advice or counseling.

​

Key Objectives:

Participants will be expected to engage in discussion and to walk away with:

​

• Defining emotional abuse and understanding the various forms
  Recognizing signs and patterns of emotional abuse in interpersonal relationships

• Exploring the impact of emotional abuse on individuals

• Discussing the cultural factors that may influence the experience and perception of emotional abuse

• Providing strategies and resources for interpreters to support individuals as well as self-care when working in emotionally challenging situations

Instructors: Kara Napolitano, Research and Training Manager, Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking

​

Immigrants and refugees have unique vulnerabilities to
potential labor or sexual exploitation, which can include wage
theft and human trafficking. Immigration status is often used
as a form of coercion to elicit compliance and fraudulent
promises of work are often used to recruit individuals into an
exploitative situation. Often victims do not understand their
rights, may have their identification confiscated, and may not
feel safe to report.

This presentation will cover the complexities of disclosure
for immigrant communities as well as the legal recourse a
survivor can take to pursue justice, with a focus on trauma
and trauma-informed care and the diversity of lived
experience.

​

KEY OBJECTIVES

​

• Understand the nuances of both labor and sex trafficking in Colorado communities from both a legal and lived experience perspective.

• Understand the complexities of disclosure and identification for survivors of trafficking, especially for immigrant communities.

• Understand the legal and civil recourse that a trafficking survivor can pursue in Colorado.

 

TARGET AUDIENCE:
Colorado interpreters, bilingual case workers, community navigators- especially those who may be working with marginalized individuals who have experienced violence.

This workshop, focusing on interpretation in mental health settings, is for interpreters who wish to learn more about mental health terminology and how to navigate some of the unique challenges of mental health interpretation. Participants who will benefit most have completed at least some introductory training on mental health interpreting and are familiar with general mental health terms and settings. 

​

In this interactive workshop, participants will be expected to engage in discussion and practice, as we cover the following topics: 

• Settings where mental health interpretation may be necessary
• Basic mental health terminology and professionals
• How interpreting in mental health settings may require use of various interpretation skills
• How to maintain meaning with difficult terminology
• Addressing stigma and personal awareness
• What it means to work from a trauma-informed perspective

​

Learning objectives: Participants should walk away with knowledge of different settings where they may or will need to provide mental health interpretation, how to interpret mental health terms from a culturally-salient perspective, how to address stigma or possibly uncomfortable conversations with clients, how to maintain appropriate boundaries while serving as a conduit and cultural broker, and how to work from a trauma-informed perspective.
