When you and your client/patient don't speak the same language, providing quality care is almost impossible without the help of someone to interpret. Many organizations today turn to a variety of people to bridge the language gap, from untrained bilingual staff to professional medical interpreters. However, there's a knack to working with even the best interpreter. This workshop is designed to assist participants to work more effectively with interpreters when dealing with clients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
