St. Paul – Health Equity Breakfast Series
December 2 @ 8:30 am - 10:30 am CST
$25
We’re excited to invite you to Shifting Power, Transforming Systems Through Language, presented by the University of St. Thomas Morrison Family College of Health in partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center. Please join us for a rich conversation on language as a vital bridge to more equitable and inclusive care for communities in which language is a barrier.
Language access is critical in providing equitable, high-quality, whole-person care for immigrant and refugee communities. This breakfast will include a viewing of Translators, an award-winning brief documentary, which focuses on the role children play to step in as translators and interpreters for adult family members. Panelists and attendees will have opportunities to share from their own personal and professional experiences to explore questions raised in the documentary, examine the role of language in providing culturally responsive care, discuss systemic issues leading to limited language access in health care and social service settings, and consider strategies for increasing language access and improving culturally responsive care. We hope you can join us for this important conversation!
