Event Details

This workshop is only for Minnesota Residents!

Sign language interpreters face many challenges and stress due to the nature of their work, and there is new evidence to suggest that there needs to be more attention paid to how interpreters are regulating that stress. During this workshop, participants will learn about what we currently understand about stress and stressors, and how they impact the interpreter, the effectiveness of their work, and job satisfaction. Additionally, and more importantly, this workshop will explore strategies that can be used to regulate stress responses, as well as practices that interpreters can engage with to increase resilience and longevity. This all-day workshop will highlight the following: how to get back on track when stress comes up during work, how to complete the stress cycle, what to do after work to process and release stress, how to navigate relational stress, (i.e “people stress”), and how to take a strategy from a new idea to part of a professional interpreting practice.

Educational Objectives:

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
– Define how stress experiences impact the brain and body when the stress cycle is not completed.
– Identify approaches to addressing both stressors and stress responses.
– Explain the importance of developing practices to increase resilience.
– Describe at least three strategies to complete the stress cycle.
– Explain strategies that can be used to address stress when interacting with other people in work and personal situations.
– Demonstrate a strategy that could be used while working to regulate a stress response.
– Create a plan of action to incorporate a new strategy into their interpreting practice.
