The webinar seeks to demystify a rape or sexual assault encounter for interpreters. To provide the interpreter with an understanding of what is rape, sexual assault, victimology, violent crimes, myths and facts. With the intent of creating a broad base of knowledge on the topic to be prepared to interpret while staying with the confines of the role. To recognize if they have the capacity to handle the emotional context of this work, that can cause vicarious trauma or haunt the interpreter for a long time. The code of ethics will be reviewed, to discuss boundaries, they will learn about the national statistics on rape and sexual assault (female/male), how to approach an LEP/Deaf victim, the best “mode” of interpretation, and many resources for pre, post, and during the session. Graphic language, visual of areas that are most impacted during a rape/assault will be shown, as well as an in-depth explanation of a medical forensic examination, and a video of the exam. The intent is to demystify it and educate so there isn’t apprehension when you are requested for an interpretation and to know if you are able to faithfully interpret.
Learning Objectives:
1. Build a foundation of understanding, best practices, and understanding of the role of the interpreter in a rape or sexual assault interpretation.
2. How to best serve the LEP patient, while staying in the interpreter role, in a situation that is emotionally charged and has legal connotation.
3. Know best practices, preferences, how to engage the legal aspect of the encounter, working with officers.
To understand the EMT / Ambulance impact on the patients care and the medical exam in the emergency room.
4. Will have a clear view of how to serve the LEP and all those involved in the encounter/session with precision, empathy, and without ever stepping out of his/her role.
