Introduction to Social Role Valorization

This intensive workshop presents the idea of assisting people with disabilities and other devalued conditions to have positive social roles, which serves as a productive and helpful response to wounding life experiences. People wishing to understand the life experiences of people they support and the implications of those life experiences, and those who are committed to working toward making life better for others are encouraged to attend.

This foundational material is essential to those wishing to serve others in meaningful ways and who are impassioned to make a difference in the lives of others. Many participants find the learning within this event to be the most helpful, inspiring, and clarifying body of knowledge they have been exposed to in their professional development. It assists in long-term understanding and focus of service to others in ways that matter.

The workshop includes multi-media presentation, small and large group reflection and discussion, and resource materials. Participants should be prepared for significant presentations as well.
