INTRODUCTION 1. Now, more than ever, Americans need rapid access to suicide prevention and mental health crisis intervention services. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the suicide rate in this country increased by 35% from 1999 to 2018,1 and suicide is now the tenth leading cause of death in the United States.2 Suicide claimed the lives of more than 48,000 Americans in 2018, 1 Holly Hedegaard et al., Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States, 1999-2018, National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Data Brief No. 362, at 1 (Apr. 2020), https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db362-h.pdf. 2 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, “Preventing Suicide” Fact Sheet, at 1 (2020), https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/Suicide-factsheet_508.pdf. Federal Communications Commission FCC 20-100 resulting in about one death every 11 minutes.3 And each year, many more Americans think about or attempt suicide. In 2018, 10.7 million adults in the United States seriously thought about suicide, 3.3 million made a plan for suicide, and 1.4 million attempted suicide.4 2. Suicide also disproportionately impacts various at-risk populations. For example, more than 20 Veterans die by suicide every day5 and between 2008 and 2017, the number of Veteran suicides exceeded 6,000 each year.6 LGBTQ young adults (ages 18-25) contemplate suicide at a rate more than four times higher than heterosexual young adults;7 and more than 1.8 million LGBTQ youth between the ages of 13 and 24 seriously consider suicide each year.8 Suicide is also the second most common cause of death among teenagers and young adults,9 and the rate of suicide for youth aged 10-24 increased by 56% from 2007 to 2017.10 By 2015, suicide rates among teenage girls hit a 40-year high;11 and between 1999 and 2014, the rate of suicide committed by girls ages 10 to 14 tripled.12 A 2019 study also found that self- reported suicide attempts among black teens increased by 73% between 1991 and 2017.13 And a 2020 study showed that college students who are deaf or hard of hearing are twice as likely to consider or attempt suicide than students without hearing loss.14 Suicide rates are also higher among Native Americans as well as rural Americans. According to the CDC, American Indians/Alaska Natives have the highest rates of suicide of any racial or ethnic group in the United States, and the rates of suicide 3 Id. 4 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, Key Substance Use and Mental Health Indicators in the Unites States: Results from the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health at 3 (2019), https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/cbhsq- reports/NSDUHNationalFindingsReport2018/NSDUHNationalFindingsReport2018.pdf. 5 See Letter from Senator Tammy Baldwin and Senator Dan Sullivan, U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, to Hon.

Moreover, the societal, health, and economic impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is likely exacerbating suicide and mental health concerns in the United States.17 For example, the American Association of Suicidology reports that in a recent survey of over 350 mobile crisis teams, crisis residential programs, and crisis call centers across the country, “[a]lmost half (49%) of all respondents reported an increase in call volume since the onset of COVID-19, with some stating they are receiving double the usual volume.”18 4. To help Americans in crisis access suicide prevention and mental health support services, the federal government has established the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which can be reached by dialing 1-800-273-8255 / 1-800-273 (TALK).19 Both Congress and the Commission have recognized the need to ease access to this potentially life-saving resource by designating a shorter, “easy-to-remember, 3- dialing code” for the Lifeline.20 In August 2019, pursuant to Congress’ direction in the National Suicide Hotline Improvement Act of 2018,21 FCC staff reported on the technical

    “It’s good for them but not so for me”: Inside the sign language interpreting call centre The InternationalInternational Journal Journal for for Translation & Int&erpreting Interpreting Research trans-int.org-int.org Jemina Napier Heriot-Watt University, Scotland [email protected] Robert Skinner Heriot-Watt University, Scotland [email protected] Graham H. Turner Heriot-Watt University, Scotland [email protected] DOI: 10.12807/ti.109202.2017.a01 Abstract: This paper reports on findings from an international survey of sign language interpreters who have experience of working remotely via video link, either in a video relay service or as a video remote interpreter. The objective of the study was to identify the common issues that confront interpreters when working in these remote environments and ascertain what aspects of interpreting remotely via a video link are working successfully. The international reach of this survey demonstrates how working remotely via video link can be an integral part of bringing about social equality for deaf sign language users; yet according to interpreters who work in these services, ineffective video interpreting policies, poor public awareness and lack of training are identified as areas needing improvement. Keywords: video remote interpreting, sign language, interpreter experiences, interpreter perspectives, survey research 1. Introduction Due to the advent of technology, an increasing number of interpreter-mediated interactions are now taking place via the use of video. Interpreters are increasingly required to be involved in: (i) video conference interpreting (VCI), where there are two locations and the interpreter is in either one; or (ii) remote interpreting (RI), where all participants are together in one location and the interpreter is in a separate, remote location.

  • Video Relay Service: Program Funding and Reform
    Video Relay Service: Program Funding and Reform Updated July 12, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42830 Video Relay Service: Program Funding and Reform Summary The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates a number of disability-related telecommunications services, including video relay service (VRS). VRS allows persons with hearing disabilities, using American Sign Language (ASL), to communicate with voice telephone users through video equipment rather than through typed text. VRS has quickly become a very popular service, as it offers several features not available with the text-based telecommunications relay service (TRS). The FCC has adopted various rules to maintain the quality of VRS service. Now VRS providers must answer 80% of all VRS calls within 120 seconds. VRS providers must also offer the service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, in June 2010, the FCC began a comprehensive review of the rates, structure, and practices of the VRS program to minimize waste, fraud, and abuse and update compensation rates that had become inflated above actual cost. Rules in that proceeding were issued in June 2013. The new rules initiated fundamental restructuring of the program to support innovation and competition, drive down ratepayer and provider costs, eliminate incentives for waste, and further protect consumers. In addition, the new rules transition VRS compensation rates toward actual costs over the next four years, initiating a step-by-step transition from existing tiered TRS Fund compensation rates toward a unitary, market-based compensation rate. On June 28, 2019, the FCC adopted per-minute VRS compensation rates for the 2019-20 Fund Year, effective from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.

  • Video Relay Service (VRS}
    Links to VRS providers available at: www.puc.state.tx.us/relay Video Relay Service (VRS} Video Relay Service (VRS) enables deaf or hard-of-hearing persons who sign to communicate with voice telephone users (hearing persons) through video conference equipment (web cameras or video phone products). A voice telephone user can also initiate a VRS call by calling a VRS center, usually through a toll-free number. 1 VRS user goes to VRS website and gives the VI the other party's phone number. 2 The VI places the call and voices everything the VRS user signs to the other party. 4 The VI signs the spo­ ken reply to the VRS user. 3 Other party listens and then voices his/her reply. 8 Other Relay Features Spanish Speaking Users Spanish-speaking callers can directly connect to a Spanish­ speaking relay agent by dialing 1-800-662-4954. Relay Texas also provides Spanish translation relay agents. The service provides Spanish-to-Spanish as well as to Spanish-to-English translations. International Calls You may place and receive calls to and from anywhere in the world through Relay Texas.
