Workshop Description:
While everyone is preparing and talking about the advent of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on the interpreting industry, interpreters cannot but worry and fear for their livelihood. In addition, the work of an interpreter requires accuracy, tenacity, and emotional strength. Like with anyone working in medical, community and court settings, interpreters will face work-related stress. This presentation sheds light on the emotional toll that interpreters face every day. This presentation provides the audience with practical coping mechanisms tailored specifically for interpreters working in high stress environments. Ultimately, this presentation aims to foster resilience in the face of change and empower interpreters with tools to manage vicarious trauma and stress.
Learning Objectives:
During and at the conclusion of this session, participants will:
- Discuss the difference between vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, burn out, and stress.
- Take two tests and plan a self-care routine that will improve the results of these tests: (1) compassion fatigue level test, (2) test to check the balance in their life
- Determine strategies on how to face stress in the face of change in the industry specifically relating to Artificial Intelligence
