If you work in legal, medical, or community settings, the intersection of substance use and the justice system is a reality you need to be prepared for. Join Makoto Ikegami and Deb Guthmann this Tuesday at 7pm ET for "Interpreting for Deaf Individuals in Substance Use and Legal Contexts."
Participants will gain tools for more effective and ethical interpreting interactions in these complex situations through discussion of current research, case studies, updates on litigation, available resources, and needed improvements in carceral settings, as well as strategies to assist interpreters in navigating the barriers and injustices that Deaf individuals experience in these systems.
