INTERPRETING SERVICES AND
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
"The interpreter scene prior to 1964 was so vastly different from that which exists today that it is a strain on the imagination to contemplate it ... We did not work as interpreters, but rather volunteered our services as our schedules permitted. If we received any compensation it was freely given and happily accepted, but not expected." - Lou Fant, RID biographer

Love2ASL.com, is offering a mentoring opportunity, with a specialized training program, Domestic Violence Prevention, Personal Empowerment Program. We are working jointly with the PEP program and protective shelters for women and children.
For those of you who have completed your interpreter training and are not feeling ready to go out on your own, or have been interpreting and want this specialized training, this is a unique opportunity to continue to bridge between you and the Deaf community.
How this program works, I am contacted by therapists or shelters who have Deaf clients who need Personal Empowerment Program training. Love2ASL.com’s Domestic Violence Prevention Program to Empower and Educate Deaf women works in conjunction with therapists and shelters to provide the interpreters so that the Deaf consumer can attend the Personal Empowerment Program. At times there are men who attend the Personal Empowerment Program itself, however, we have never had a Deaf male participate yet.
The Personal Empowerment Program is held by an organization, at a undisclosed location, to protect the whereabouts of the victim from the predator. The actual location will be given only to those who have registered and attend the orientation. Our goal is to help victims become victorious over their batterer.
This is a rare opportunity and is tremendously needed to help educate deaf individuals to learn how to protect themselves from being abused. Because this program is only available on a “as needed” basis the opportunity is on a first come first serve basis. You can make this opportunity happen for this Deaf consumer, who is in need of Domestic Violence Prevention to learn how to avoid or get out of a Domestic Violence environment.
The California Superior Courts are mandated to order the Batterer to a 52-week Domestic Violence Batterers Treatment Program and anger management, however, the courts are not mandated to order the victim to the Personal Empowerment Program. Mandated programs provide sign language interpreters, non-mandated programs do not provide sign language interpreters.
requests to participate will be handled on a “first come - first serve” basis. Because this training is done during the actual Personal Empowerment Program group, it is limited to 3-Mentee / Interpreters.
Training: you will receive one, 8-hour day of orientation, where we will review the entire 10-week Domestic Violence Prevention, Personal Empowerment Program. We will review each week’s topic from the Personal Empowerment Program notebook. During the review of each topic, we will discuss any sign language that is specialized to the D.V. situation, we will discuss how to visualize ASL concepts, and when to use ASL expansion, we will discuss which words need to be reinforced by finger spelling and more. We will meet on a Saturday or Sunday for the orientation which will be determined at a later date.
Love2ASL.com’s Domestic Violence Prevention Program, consists of 12-weeks of hands-on mentoring, individual evaluation of your skills, feedback on how to strengthen your signing skills and debriefing the interpreting event. The cost to you will be, $24.00 per week and you can pay as you go or receive a free Domestic Violence Prevention Manual worth $50.00 if the 12-weeks are paid in full at the first meeting.

Suggestions for Domestic Violence Survivors:
Definition of Domestic Violence:
FAQ:One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime (Tjaden, Patricia et al., 2000),
and females who are 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk for intimate partner violence (U.S. Department of Justice, 2006).
In 2005, 389,100 women and 78,180 men were victimized by an intimate partner. These crimes accounted for 9 percent of all violent crime. (Shannan M. Catalano, 2005).
The majority (73%) of family violence victims are females: 84% were spousal abuse victims and 86% were victims at the hands of a boyfriend (U.S. Department of Justice, 2005).
A 2004 study found that women living in disadvantaged neighborhoods are more than twice as likely to be the victims of intimate partner violence than women in more affluent neighborhoods (Michael Benson et al., 2004).
One study found that women who have experienced any type of personal violence (even when the last episode was 14 to 30 years ago) reported a greater number of chronic physical symptoms than those who have not been abused. The risk of suffering from six or more chronic physical symptoms increased with the number of forms of violence experienced (Christina Nicolaidis et al., 2004).
In 2003, lesbians, gays, bisexuals, or transgender people experienced 6,523 incidents of domestic violence; 44% were men, 36% women and 2% transgender (National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs, 2004).
