Change leaders committed to better lives for people with developmental and psychosocial disability are talking about 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 it.
Social Role Valorization (SRV) theory has been introduced in India with a deep impact over the past four years. It is a social theory which provides a solid framework for understanding social devaluation of vulnerable people and proposes powerful ways to open possibilities for people to experience the good things of life. SRV has implications on personal, family, community, and societal levels and will strengthen effective change agentry efforts.
This workshop gives participants a practical introduction to the principles of Social Role Valorization. Through a combination of multimedia presentation and small group discussion, participants will learn about the phenomenon of social devaluation. This event includes discussion of how people with disabilities and other devalued groups have been systematically hurt and harmed by society, and what the impact of that devaluation has been. Participants will also learn about ways to help people have better lives by supporting them to achieve positive valued social roles. We will discuss practical strategies to make this a reality for the people you support.

Across the world, most valued people have some level of choice and voice in their lives, perhaps not about everything but about many things. We make many daily decisions, express our opinions freely, and often have leeway to steer our lives in one direction or another, to take some risks, and to stretch ourselves.
