ENPSIT

European Network for Public Service Interpreting and Translation

MentalHealth4All Symposium

Over the last three years, ENPSIT has been an active partner in the MentalHealth4All project, which is co-funded by the EU-fund AMIF and focuses on reducing language barriers faced by migrants and refugees seeking mental healthcare across Europe.
 
In the upcoming MentalHealth4All Symposium the project will bring together professionals, experts, researchers, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and insights on managing linguistic and cultural diversity in mental healthcare. This event takes place in Brussels on 4 December 2024.
 
The program includes panel discussions, project presentations, keynotes, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities. The symposium will offer insights into the latest research, practical approaches, and strategies for culturally and linguistically inclusive mental healthcare.
 
Further details on the programme, speakers, and registration can be found on the symposium website.


​Introducing ENPSIT




​The European Network for Public Service Interpreting and Translation (ENPSIT) gathers providers of public service interpreting and translation services, training institutions, public service interpreters and translators, teachers, assessors, researchers and their organisations and institutions from across Europe.

What is PSIT?

Public service interpreters transmit messages between speakers that do not share the same language, conveying as accurately and unbiasedly as possible each of the speakers' messages to the other. At least one speaker is a public service  provider, and at least one of the other speakers is their client. Public service translators do the same but in written mode of communication.

Aims

ENPSIT works towards a European Policy for public service interpreting and translation, which is enforced at a national level. It calls on EU levels of government to:
​
  • Acknowledge public service interpreting and translation as necessary instruments within a European integration policy that incorporates diversity and equal opportunities;
  • Guarantee everyone's rights to high quality language support in service provision in a governmental or social context;
  • Introduce European quality standards for public service interpreting and translation;
  • Ackowledge and finance public service interpreting and translation services;
  • Stimulate PSIT-related research.​
