Keystone Institute

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

Join the Keystone Institute and KHS SRV Leadership members and facilitators as we delve into a book and mine it for lessons and learning as part of our SRV Reading Circle Study Group Series. All registrants will be provided with the book and will have ample time to read it before joining together on November 12 for discussion and exploration of SRV-related themes.

Due to the in-depth knowledge of Social Role Valorization that is required for this discussion, prior attendance at a full 28-hour in-person or 32-hour online SRV theory course is necessary to attend this event.

More information and registration will be available at a later date.

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

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.

Over 11% of Americans live in poverty and it’s a reality for many people with disability supported by human service organizations. Poverty is a wound that is often exacted upon people, that they are even thrust into, against their will and as a result of being devalued. While it is often viewed as a stand-alone problem, it is in fact a complex issue that affects people’s physical and mental well-being, their relationships and social isolation, cognitive development in children, the risk of homelessness and violence, and much more.

Join the Keystone Institute and KHS SRV Leadership members and facilitators as we delve into the Festschrift for Dr. Wolfensberger and Pennhurst and the Struggle for Disability Rights as part of our SRV Reading Circle Study Group Series. The Keystone Institute will provide you with a copy of both books. You will have ample time to read them before joining together on December 10 for discussion and exploration of SRV-related themes.
