Workshop Description: The thought of interpreting a 12-step meeting can be intimidating. Many interpreters, new and seasoned, are hesitant to accept this important work for fear of the unknown. This workshop will provide new interpreters with the confidence to begin interpreting in 12-step settings, as well as resources to support them on their journey.
Often interpreters who are not in recovery believe that they are not a good fit for this work, when actually it can be ideal for the interpreter to not be in the program that they will be interpreting. This workshop is facilitated through the lens of a Deaf participant of a 12-step program and a hearing interpreter who is not in recovery. We will provide tools and resources to support these new interpreters in navigating this work thoughtfully and respectfully.
