Keystone Institute India

The concept of model coherency is one of the themes of and for Social Role Valorization (SRV) theory. Yet another fabulous "gem" of SRV, this concept is so helpful when both designing and evaluating a service. How well a service "hangs together" in every way is the big idea behind Model Coherency. This workshop is designed for those who have some training in Social Role Valorization, and those who have also done deep SRV study. Be prepared for hands-on experiential learning as we take the ideas and put them to work together.
Betsy Neuville will lead this workshop with an eye to clarification, application, and learning together as a Zoom community, with some help from the All-India SRV Leadership Network.

Authentic work brings a richness and fullness to our lives in so many ways. Employment has largely been unavailable to people with significant intellectual and developmental disabilities or mental health issues. New ideas and new thinking are helping us learn to make room for people with disability in the workforce, and this is an exciting area where change is brewing.

Across India, change leaders committed to better lives for people with developmental and psychosocial disability are talking and learning about Social Role Valorization, a powerful set of ideas about how to assist people to have full, rich, meaningful lives. SRV provides a high-order framework for understanding the society in which we live, and the place people with disabilities tend to hold within in. As well, SRV thinking is accompanied by very practical implementation strategies to help people with disabilities have access to the good things of life.

Hungry for more information about Social Role Valorization? Had some basic training in it? If so, then this workshop is for you. The global pandemic is causing us to interact differently, and Keystone Institute is adapting by providing our courses and events on-line, using the best platform we can find. This event is a pilot, and we need your help by attending it and providing us with feedback and suggestions. Please join us as we introduce participants to a powerful component within SRV known as the Conservatism Corollary. This has nothing to do with politics but DOES have to do with strengthening the options we offer to people as we help them to have access to the good things of life.

As your leading-edge organization well knows, Keystone Institute India has been working to develop a set of 14 modules in three phases meant to provide a high-quality direct support preparation program. It is intended for promising supervisors as well as direct workers in special schools, vocational programs, recreational programs, day centers, and residential programs. This train-the-trainer course will happen over two face-to-face sessions and is offered only to specific organizations at this time.
