SUMMARY:Leadership Level SRV Workshop Series (Presented in nine parts over Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:T\nHIS WORKSHOP PROVIDES an introduction to Social Role Valorization\n(SRV)\, developed by Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger. His work helped lay the\nfoundation for many current human service trends\, including the\ndevelopment of community services\, integration\, self-determination and\nrights\, and person-centered planning.\nSRV is a systematic\, universally applicable framework for structuring human\nservices\, applicable to administration\, board members\, direct service workers\nand families. SRV describes a close relationship between the perceived value of\nthe roles that people hold\, and whether people in those roles will be accorded\nopportunities and other ‘good things of life.’ Bad things tend to get done to\npeople who are seen in devalued roles\, and good things tend to be afforded to\npeople in positively valued roles.\nThe workshop offers a critical SRV-based look at many contemporary human\nservice practices. Participants will benefit from lectures\, question and answer\nperiods\, and discussion. Written assignments will be accomplished between\nsessions and will form the basis for reflection and conversation.

SUMMARY:All India SRV Leadership Group Rally
DESCRIPTION:Training Description: \n“IASRV Members unite! We are thrilled to call together all Grads from 1.0 – 5.0 for building our fellowship\, strengthening our community of practice\, and remembering the ideas that both power us up and shake us up. You are invited to the 2023 SRV Rally\, a three-hour session on Zoom\, with plenty of chances to freshen up your SRV connections and feel the vitality of our movement. \n  \nMany of us get to work together in a host of projects\, workshops\, practical use\, advocacy\, writing projects\, and other forms of change agentry\, all centering around creating a place at the community table for all people\, including people with disabilities. Others of us have less chances to interact and build with each other\, and many of us hardly take time to stop and refresh. At 7 years old\, the SRV community in India\, and extending to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka\, is here to stay. So much is happening\, so let’s rally together at this meet-up. \nYou can expect a refresh\, and even a reset\, on the ideas and themes\, a look at the ways SRV is being put to good use by families\, people with disabilities\, and organizations\, and take away fresh allies and renewed passion for timeless idea and ideals worth working for.” \n Pre-requisite: ALL-India SRV Group \nRegistration Link: https://eneuville.wufoo.com/forms/w1jnplhs04h89y7/ \n  \n  \nContact Person: Prashansa Pandey\, Program Leader\, Events and Workshops ppandey@khs.org \, 9779754828 \n

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Social Role Valorization
DESCRIPTION:The Introduction to Social Role Valorization is an intensive workshop which presents 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. Social Role Valorization is a comprehensive theory which provides insights as to why certain groups of people become devalued in society\, what life experiences are likely to befall people once they have become devalued in the eyes of others\, why valued social roles are a powerful response in combatting the negative life experiences\, and ten essential themes which can guide implementers in pursuing valued social roles by\, with\, and for those practitioners desire to serve. \nThis 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 being of service to others in ways that matter. \nThe workshop includes pre-recorded as well as live presentations\, small and large group live reflection and discussion\, online forums and resource materials. Participants should be prepared for significant presentations. \nCourse Schedule: \nWeek 1 \nDay 1:  Tuesday\, January 27\, 2026\, 9:00 am to 12:45 pm with additional individual assignment/work \nDay 2:  Wednesday\, January 28\, 2026\, 9:00 am to 2:30 pm with additional individual assignment/work \nDay 3:  Thursday\, January 29\, 2026\, 9:00 am to 2:30 pm \nWeek 2 \nDay 4:  Tuesday\, February 3\, 2026\, 9:00 am to 12:30 pm with additional individual assignment/work \nDay 5:  Wednesday\, February 4\, 2026\, 9:00 am to 2:30 pm \nDay 6:  Thursday\, February 5\, 2026\, 9:00 am to 12:30 pm \n*This course will take place entirely online.  Participants must attend every session in order to receive credit for the workshop.*

SUMMARY:The History and Implications of America's Segregated Institutions
DESCRIPTION:Much can be learned about human effort\, societal forces of oppression and marginalization\, and the possibilities for change by studying the rise and fall of “The Great Institutions.” This presentation will describe the founding of such institutions\, with lofty and earnest aspirations\, through the vast growth of segregation and congregation fed by eugenics ideology\, and the eventual decline of the “total institution.” \nThrough photos\, stories of people’s lives and narrative\, we will explore the connections with today’s services\, the insidious staying power of segregation\, and the lessons we can draw from this. \nhis workshop will be led by Betsy Neuville\, who worked for many years creating community alternatives for hundreds of institutionalized people all over the world and has supported the settlement agreements at numerous facilities which have promised better lives for people. \nFor more information\, please click the View Event Flyer link below.

SUMMARY:The Road Most Traveled: Using the Culturally Valued Analogue (BENGALI)
DESCRIPTION:SRV theory has been introduced in India with a deep impact over the past 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 the personal\, family\, community\, and societal levels\, and will strengthen effective change agentry efforts. \nSocial Role Valorization principles contain many “gems” – ideas that have great power and applicability towards making life fuller and richer for those who are at risk of social devaluation. The culturally valued analogue\, or CVA\, is one such gem. In this workshop\, we will explore this idea\, applying ourselves to studying the natural pathways as a basis for strategies\, methods and tactics used to help people\, especially those marginalized\, to have valued roles and gain the good things of life. The simple yet potent use of the CVA in all your work toward a better life will help anchor you again and again. \nJoin the movement! You have heard about “SRV”\, a set of ideas being used across India to assist people with disability to live full and rich “everyday lives”. Now is your chance to take part in a brief overview which introduces participants to the culturally valued analogue. \nThis is a great place to start a journey of exploring these ideas alongside others. \nPlease note\, the workshop will be delivered in Bengali. \nFor more information\, please click the View Event Flyer link below.

SUMMARY:Introductory Passing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION\nThe PASSING workshop builds upon the Introduction to SRV course by providing a hands-on experience with an actual human service program. The workshop emphasizes the impact of services on the lives of their recipients. Workshop participants are invited to see services “through the eyes” of its recipients. This is an opportunity to work with the ideas of Social Role Valorization (SRV) to craft a vision of excellent service. \nThe work of this course is done in teams. Many teams will include family members\, support workers\,administrators\,& others. Each team will go to both a residential and a “day” service\, visiting with service recipients & conducting interviews with staff & administrators. The event involves extensive personal reflection & analysis\, group conciliation\, & thought­ provoking discussion. A past workshop participant said\, “when I go back to work\, I won’t be the same.” \nPREREQUISITE \nPersons attending PASSING must have first attended a full Introduction to SRV workshop. To create a focused & reflective atmosphere\, this workshop is designed as an intensive experience. Participants must be able to keep an open mind and work well on a team to facilitate learning for the entire group.

SUMMARY:Good Employment for People with Disabilities: How to make it a reality
DESCRIPTION:This four part workshop explores the significance of good employment for people with intellectual disabilities. Recognizing that work is one of the good things of life\, the workshop begins with an examination and critique of historical strategies and ideas of work. The Discovery process is introduced as a tool to assist people and their supporters to identify what a person could contribute to the workplace and what is necessary for them to be successful . The important role of the employment professional in effectively supporting people on the job is then examined in depth. Important considerations about planning and working with potential employment to customize employment are the focus of the final session. Through lectures and discussion\, this interactive workshop provides an opportunity to think more deeply about the\nsteps involved and to learn from the experiences of others.

SUMMARY:Leadership-Level SRV Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides an introduction to Social Role Valorization (SRV)\, developed by Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger\, one of the most influential thinkers in the field of human services worldwide. Wolfensberger’s work helped lay the foundation for many current human service trends\, including the development of community services\, integration\, self-determination and rights\, and person-centered planning. \nSRV is a systematic & universally applicable concept for structuring human services\, for direct service and for families. Its foundation is in the fields of psychology\, sociology & broad human experience. SRV describes a close relationship between the socially perceived value of the roles that people hold\, & whether people in those roles will be accorded opportunities & other ‘good things of life.’ Bad things tend to get done to people who are seen in devalued roles\, & good things tend to be afforded to people in positively valued roles. \nTopics to be explored include: the universality of social devaluation; the defining power of roles in people’s lives; strategies for pursuing socially valued roles for devalued people\, with an aim toward improving their life conditions; enhancement of people’s social images; & enhancement of people’s competencies. The workshop offers a critical SRV-based look at many contemporary human service practices. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Introductory SRV Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides an introduction to Social Role Valorization (SRV) using the 10 core themes\, developed by Dr. W. Wolfensberger. Dr. Wolfensberger’s work helped lay the foundation for many current human service trends\, including integration\, safeguarding of rights\, and the deinstitutionalization movement. \nSRV is a systematic and universally applicable concept for structuring human services is anchored in the empiricism of psychology and sociology. SRV suggests a close relationship between the socially perceived value of the roles that people hold\, and whether people in those roles will be accorded opportunities and other good things of life. Bad things tend to get done to people who are seen in devalued roles\, and good things tend to be afforded to people in positively valued roles. Topics to be explored will include the universality of social devaluation\, the defining power of roles in people’s lives\, strategies for pursuing socially valued roles\, or at least less devalued roles for devalued people with an aim toward improving their life conditions\, enhancing people’s social images\, and enhancing people’s competencies.

Be prepared\nfor hands-on experiential learning\, as we take the ideas and put them to work\ntogether. \nThe presentation will be conducted primarily in English. \nFor more information\, please click the View Event Flyer link below.
