Staff interpreters are the backbone of a health system’s efforts to improve outcomes for patients from diverse linguistic backgrounds. They serve a crucial role, promoting effective communication and comprehensive language access and fostering a sense of trust between the health system and the communities they serve. Eliminating in-house language access support undermines social justice, negatively impacting already marginalized groups within a community. #languageaccess #healthequity #languagejustice #socialjustice

In our unique field, it's impossible to predict everything that will happen during an assignment. For newer interpreters, it can be nerve wracking to step into new settings and situations. Not even the most experienced interpreters are immune to the stressors and demands of the job. Check out this article from the Journal of Interpretation for some coping strategies they recommend!

Marleen Julien Souverain Julien, CEO of Creole Solutions, a US-based Haitian Creole language service provider, reports receiving distressing updates from in-country linguists about utility outages, personal security issues, and the lack of assignments. "Thousands of people work as contract linguists around the world, and their job situation can change at a moment’s notice when local conditions deteriorate. For people in developed countries, world events can sometimes seem like a few scenes of noise and flame shown on TV. But these very real challenges affect hard-working people in tangible, life-altering ways." Read more: https://buff.ly/4bmAvkW #CreoleSolutions #TeamMembers #WorkingConditions
