      Module Dates: June 15th – July 20th, 2020

      If you missed it when we offered our modules in 2018 and 2019, here is an opportunity to take advantage of the CATIE Center’s module, Intro to Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence.

      There is a huge need for trained interpreters in domestic violence and sexual violence (DVSV) settings. Having training can mean the difference between making a survivor feel empowered or retraumatized. Working successfully in this niche requires specialty knowledge and skills to be successful.

      This module covers:

      • Why domestic violence and sexual assault happens.
      • How trauma impacts language.
      • Different settings and systems in which interpreters work.
      • Interpreting considerations for the trauma informed practitioner.
      • Self-care practices that will keep us and the people we work with healthy.
      • Steps and resources for further training.

      Time commitment

      This module will require about 20 hours of work. There are no set meeting times, but topics are opened weekly to give participants richer discussion and learning opportunities. All work must be completed by 11:59pm on July 20. No extensions will be offered. See Course Outline below for an overview of the course.
      Please join us to enhance your understanding of this worthwhile work!
