SUMMARY:AMSSA Webinar: Connecting Languages & Cultures through Interpretation
DESCRIPTION:Professionals working with newcomers rely on verbal and nonverbal communication as the primary tool for forming relationships with newcomers as well as obtaining information from them. However\, language and cultural barriers can lead to miscommunication\, which can further lead to frustration and act as an additional barrier to accessing needed and appropriate services. Using a professional interpreter can be essential to bridging the divide between communication barriers and interacting effectively with newcomers. \nNot every interaction involving an interpreter is the same. The role of the individual utilizing the interpreter can vary depending on the setting (in-person\, telephone\, and group)\, language (spoken or signed language) and context of the interpretation. \nThis webinar will include the following: \n\nIssues regarding confidentiality and privacy when using an interpreter\nUsing interpreters when working with clients who have experienced trauma\nUsing Interpreters in a medical setting\nThe logistics of utilizing a spoken or signed language interpreter\nHow factors such as culture and gender can influence interpretation and communication\nWorking with interpreters in various settings\n\nThe aim of this webinar is to provide individuals working with newcomers an introductory framework which they can use to further explore interpretation\, as well as learn how interpretation can help to overcome communication barriers\, and how to work effectively with interpreters. \nWhen: July 12\, 2016 from 10:00 am – 11:30 am (PDT)\nLocation: Online\nRegister by July 11\, 2016 \n  \nClick Here to Register \n  \nPresenters include: \n\nAnnette Floyd\, RN(c)\, MPH\, Clinical Coordinator\, Bridge Clinic\nBryan Corry\, Registered ASL-English Interpreter and Accredited Medical Interpreter\nMariana Martinez Vieyra\, Med\, RCC\, Provincial Refugee Mental Health Coordinator\, Vancouver Association of Survivors of Torture (VAST)\nMichael Radano\, Executive Director\,  Society of Translators and Interpreters of BC (STIBC)\nYolanda Salazar Hobrough\, Head of School\, Vancouver School of Interpreting and Translation\nYoung Joe\, Certified Medical Interpreter and Executive Director of Bilinguals International
