Toward Authentic Inclusion and Belonging: A Glimpse of Social Role Valorization Theory

Social Role Valorization (SRV) is a powerful set of ideas about assisting people to have full, rich, meaningful lives. SRV provides a high-order framework for understanding our society and the place people with disabilities tend to hold within it. SRV thinking is also accompanied by very practical implementation strategies to help people with disabilities have access to the good things in life. This overview event will present the idea of assisting people with disabilities and other devalued conditions to have positive social roles as a productive and helpful response to wounding life experiences. 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 experience the learning within this event as the most helpful, inspiring, and clarifying body of knowledge they have been exposed to in their professional development, and it assists in long-term understanding and focus on serving others in ways that matter.
