The Road Most Traveled: Using the Culturally Valued Analogue as Your Guide

Social Role Valorization principles contains many “gems” – ideas that have great power and applicability towards making life fuller and richer for those who are at risk of social devaluation. The culturally valued analogue, or CVA, is one such gem. In this workshop, we will explore this idea, applying ourselves to studying the natural pathways as a basis for strategies, methods, and tactics used to help people, especially those marginalized, to have valued roles and gain the good things of life. The simple yet potent use of the CVA in all your work toward a better life will help anchor you again and again.
