Mindsets are powerful shapers of action. Our mindsets govern what we see, what we perceive, and how we respond to the world around us and the people we encounter. Intended for those with some exposure to Social Role Valorization, this workshop will examine the power of mindsets, and the sorts of strategies that might help shift the thinking of others around disability, and people with disabilities. Join us for this thoughtful consideration of another wonderful gem of SRV!

Across India, change leaders committed to better lives for people with developmental and psychosocial disability are talking and learning about Social Role Valorization (SRV), 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 in. As well, SRV thinking is accompanied by very practical implementation strategies to help people with disabilities have access to the good things of life. Please join us as we introduce participants to the basics of Social Role Valorization.
