Interpreting Effectively and Safely for Deaf Survivors of Violence
About the Training
The Vera Institute of Justice's Center on Victimization and Safety
is now accepting applications to attend the Interpreting Effectively
and Safely for Deaf Survivors of Violence training, which will be
held on December 18 and 19, 2012, in San Jose, California.
American Sign Language and Certified/Deaf Interpreters play an
important role in helping to remove these barriers and ensuring Deaf
survivors have equal access to services and justice options in their
community. To do so, however, Interpreters must have the knowledge and
comfort level to interpret effectively in contexts involving sexual and
domestic violence.
This two-day training is designed to prepare American Sign Language
and Certified/Deaf Interpreters to interpret in contexts involving
sexual and domestic violence. In-depth information on foundational as
well as emerging topics related to interpreting in these contexts will
be provided. Participants will have the opportunities to explore how
context impacts language decisions, to define ethical
decision-making in contexts involving domestic or sexual violence,
and to learn tips for keeping safe in these contexts. Training
participants will be eligible for 1.3 Continuing Education Units
from the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf.

Certified/Deaf Interpreters who currently interpret in contexts
