This workshop gives participants a practical introduction to the principles of Social Role Valorization.

Each year the SRV Leadership Group and the Keystone Institute host a series of short study sessions aimed at examining the principles of Social Role Valorization in an informal and relaxed learning format. The 2024 series will take the form of a reading circle, exploring print media, books, and articles. Each session will focus on a selected reading which participants will be provided with and have time to read beforehand. We will meet for lively discussion and deep analysis of the material through an SRV lens.

Haven’t been to SRV for a while and are looking for a refresher course? Join us as we review the themes of Social Role Valorization and discuss how we have used these ideas over our years of serving others. A series of short presentations will be followed by chances to illustrate, discuss, and share ideas and struggles. Join us to learn about the several new themes of SRV, sharpen your grasp of the principles, recommit to using and teaching the ideas, and do it all in a relaxed atmosphere.

The Introduction to Social Role Valorization is an intensive workshop which presents the idea of assisting people with disabilities and other devalued conditions to have positive social roles as a productive and helpful response to wounding life experiences.
