Minneapolis Interpreter Support Group

Medical or legal, spoken or sign language; whatever the discipline, interpreters act as both witnesses and narrators of many aspects of trauma,  which over time can impact mental health and emotional well-being.

Nobody knows what it is like to be an interpreter as well as another interpreter. It can be a stressful and exhausting job, especially when we interpret distressing or horrific stories. This support group will include education related to stress and self care as well as dedicated time to support each other, ask questions, and share experiences. Come to receive support, learn something new, or to support others!

This workshop is a continuation of previous sessions, but you can come to one or to all. You may also bring along as your guest others who represent your current support group: partners, friends, spouses, co-workers.

Presenter:  Radia Hassen

Radia Hassen has an extensive background in Community Development and Education including positions as an Undergraduate Instructor and Technical Assistant at Hawassa University in Ethiopia, a Field Extension Agent for Winrock International in rural Ethiopia and Advisor to the Minister and State Minister for the Ministry of Women, Youth and Children’s Affairs Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
