  Interpreters who work in the legal arena are faced with ethical dilemmas that put them at odds with their status in the Deaf communities, their obligations as an RID member, and their role as an officer of the Court. Throughout this workshop, participants will discuss how these various identities affect the work of interpreters and discuss best practices for addressing them.
  

  Note: This workshop will be presented in ASL; spoken English interpretation will not be provided. Due to the discussion based instructional approach, live streaming will not be available for this event. 

  Presenter: Dr. Jeremy Brunson, PhD, CI/CT, SC:L
  

  The workshop will be located in Room AG19

  This workshop will introduce the theory and principles of hospice care. Hospice Care is end-of-life care, but also support for the family and loved ones. Our role as interpreter in this setting is very delicate and with proper training and preparation we will be best prepared to understand our role.

  Kirsten is a legally licensed interpreter (AZ); holding both RID CI/CT and EIPA 4.5. She has worked as a professional interpreter since 1988 both in Washington State, as well as Arizona. She has enjoyed creating and presenting in-services and workshops state-wide for the past 15 years, inspiring and encouraging interpreters of all skill levels. She works full time as a freelance interpreter for local agencies, enjoying the variety of medical, legal and post-secondary.  Kirsten has been a volunteer with various hospice providers across the valley for 8 years, and is trained for adult care, respite, pediatric services and is currently involved with the 11th hour program. She resides in Phoenix with her husband of 28 years, and enjoys being a mother of 4 daughters.
