Breaking Silence: Interpreting for Victim Services, A Training Manual
This interpreter training manual will help to prepare qualified, professional interpreters for a
specialized area: interpreting for victim services. It addresses how to interpret for any victim of
violent crime. Breaking Silence has a particular focus on interpreting for victims of domestic violence,
sexual assault and child abuse. The key service areas that are addressed here include medical, mental
health, legal, court and social services interpreting (whether for government and nonprofit agencies
or large health care institutions) as well as interpreting for law enforcement, emergency services and
disaster response.
