WE LOVE WHAT WE DO
Over 10 years helping clients
MindLink Resources has been helping clients with the language needs since 2010. Started by Stacey, we have successfully helped customers navigate language barriers across languages and organizations.Mindlink is a small, relationship-focused language services business that aims to improve the lives of our non-English speaking community members through interpretation and translation services.As a business, we affirm and uphold that language access services are critical to helping non-native English-speaking community members receive information in their own language so they can resolve problems, learn, connect, feel included, experience equity, and thrive. One in five of our neighbors speak a language other than English at home. That’s 64 million people with potential language barriers who may not be able to talk to doctors, bankers, school counselors or teachers, healthcare workers, immigration officers, and/or government representatives.
