September is recognized worldwide as the Literacy and Interpretation Month. Here at N4, we kicked off the month by hosting a webinar titled, “Professional Interpreters Support Equity, Accessibility and Safety in Health and Social Services,” where we spoke with Allana Carlyle, the Manager of Language Access Interpreter Services with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) - watch it here, if you missed it. Allana shared risks associated with language barriers in the health and social service spaces, evidence-informed benefits of working with trained and professional interpreters, best practices and tips for both serving as an interpreter and working with interpreters, and the provincial model for interpreter services in Manitoba.
