Ghost Boy chronicles the life of Martin Pistorius, who lived with “locked-in syndrome” for over 12 years, a condition which left him unable to communicate or move. While those around him believed him to also be unconscious, Martin remained fully aware of the enduring indignities and horrific abuse he was subjected to during this time. These wounding life experiences and the impacts they had on Martin are vividly recounted in this book, as is the restorative nature of valued roles and abiding relationships.

Join the International SRV Association and the KHS SRV Leadership group on October 16 for a "fishbowl" experience as we explore common themes in using Social Role Valorization (SRV) as a framework for access to the good things of life.

This five-day workshop is for those who are interested in deepening their knowledge about the principles of Social Role Valorization. This workshop involves learning to use the PASSING assessment tool, which looks at the realities of Social Role Valorization in practice.

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.
