Workshop Descriptions:
Sex Education: For Interpreters (0.3 CEUs)
This workshop will prepare interpreters to address awkward, embarrassing, and uncomfortable situations appropriately in ways that do not interrupt Deaf client's ability to fully receive information. Participants will exercise their sexual health interpreting skills, which will cover topics such as birth control, sexually transmitted infections, HIV, relationships, and more. Participants will also learn appropriate and effective tools to aid in becoming more comfortable with interpreting sexuality content.
Working Effectively with Sexual & Gender Diverse Communities (0.3 CEUs)
Interpreters will interpret in situations about which they may have internal conflicts. Deaf individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, or queer face numerous significant barriers in accessing healthcare. This training will assist interpreters knowledge and vocabulary to impartially assist this unique group of patients and provide interpreters with a framework for incorporating LGBTQIA+ issues in interpreting work, including respectful vocabulary, that will allow clients and their family members to feel comfortable in opening up to their healthcare provider, regardless of the situation.
