New Yup'ik Glossary Aids Alaska Storm Evacuees

Breaking Language Barriers: Alaska Institute for Justice Launches Yupik Behavioral Health GlossaryThe Alaska Institute for Justice has unveiled a groundbreaking online glossary of Yupik words for behavioral health terms, aiming to bridge language gaps and improve healthcare access for Yupik speakers. This innovative tool, developed with input from Yupik speakers and funded by a grant, allows users to translate and listen to modern health-related terms. The glossary was expedited due to the recent Western Alaska storm evacuations and is now seeking funding for the next phase focusing on emergency care and intake terms. DNN | The Daily News Now!
