Sometimes the work of social workers can become confusing; more so when an alien in a foreign country needs it. Social services are inclusive of but not limited to the following:
- Health Services
- Abuse and Violence Helplines
- Youth Counseling
- Crisis Intervention
- Geriatric Care
- Maternity Care
- Family Issues
- Substance Abuse Helplines
- Sleep Disorders
- Stress-Related Issues
Language cannot be allowed to hinder the path of help to the needy. During international crises, foreign languages can hamper dispensing aid or counseling the afflicted. Linguists and translators have played their important roles in social services since the catastrophic world wars, and their need has not ended yet. In fact, with the ongoing engagements of armies and other forces, the role of translators has become even more significant.
Every day incidents require the services of social workers, and globalization has diversified the profile of that in need. To ensure proper communication between providers and receivers of their services, a transparent mode of instruction is necessary, thus the critical need of a professionally trained linguist.
YYZ Translations provides professional translation services for all governmental social services programs. Please e-mail or call us at 1-888-427-5999 for further information or to discuss your project requirements.
