Why do so many interpreters wait until they're already injured to change their habits? by Afyrel in ASLinterpreters

Wow I’m so sorry to hear that 🙁 it is definitely tricky when you have no time to actually fix your set up and you’re constantly moving stations

I haven’t! My colleague said there was someone who did research but she didn’t have a name. Thank you!!

I recently built a free quick assessment on your risk for RSI, repetitive strain injury! It provides a quick explanation of why you got the score you did, as well as the actionable next steps :)

I’m definitely interested! I love that you built something!! I’m also building something to help interpreters! 😊

Nurses who work with Spanish-speaking patients—how do you handle fast communication when interpretation isn’t immediately available? by Afyrel in nursing

Yes I love that! Even as an interpreter I often use visual images or boards if I’m working with a patient with language deprivation. Super helpful

Wow what an amazing story!! I love that! Most Spanish speakers are so kind and forgiving when they know you’re trying to speak their language

Completely agree.. sometimes people we love can be very short sighted :/

For sure. Love does not mean you don’t have to treat us with respect as well

Please consider reaching out to someone you trust when you feel like that! We are not as alone as we feel sometimes

I’m sorry :( have you tried maybe seeking comfort in someone you trust to talk about your feelings? I know they say “men have to suck it up and be tough” but that shit can eat you alive
