This project has three distinct yet interconnected parts: 1. Training for language interpreters on areas of family law, immigration law, child welfare law, and
administrative law (housing, social support) both online and in person (specifically for skill practice); 2. Online training for service providers on working effectively with interpreters and the intersections between different legal systems – family, child welfare, criminal, and immigration and the impact on clients experiencing domestic violence navigating multiple legal processes. 3. An on-line shared space for both interpreters and service providers to exchange ideas, share information and learn from each other through discussion forums and resources.
