For ourselves it is “we are doing fine with the way things are\, thank you.” Human beings cope with change by finding refuge in habitual living. The fact of the matter is that most of our lives are spent in a routinized fashion going from one thing to the next without giving it much thought\, as if things are always the same. We often seem to live in denial\, and automaticity characterizes our lives. Even complex activities such as driving a car are mostly done in almost unconscious fashion – we don’t really notice a lot of the change that goes on around us – we tend to go with the flow of new technology\, for instance. But then there are the dramatic moments when the past seems to break off at the present\, leading to a very different path to the future. Big sudden change – a catastrophe – the loss of a job\, an earthquake\, or a pandemic make huge demands on coping skills. \nSRV is also about change – directed change. It is about being change agents and about better futures. It is about capitalizing on unrelenting change for the better. \nLet’s put two and two together and see what we come up with in this study session incorporating change theory\, mindset change\, and consciousness-raising.

We’re all hard-wired to contribute – seeing purpose in our efforts and doing things for others. All too often people with disabilities are denied the powerful and innate joy of contributing to others\, finding themselves continually on the receiving end of assistance. In authentically supporting people to a more meaningful life\, we have an obligation to help people develop relevant skills and abilities that will serve as a pathway to valued social roles and access to the good things of life. Knowing what to do and having ways to contribute is what makes valued social roles authentic. This three part series will focus on why developing competencies is so important\, strategies for developing our own teaching competencies\, and an opportunity to put the learning into practice. \nJoin the Keystone Institute as we welcome Milton Tyree to lead us through this learning series. Milton Tyree has 40 years of experience in the design\, development and provision of supports and services centered on people with disabilities having access to valued aspects of everyday life. A particular area of interest has been the ongoing struggle around people with disabilities having good employment. His work for the University of Kentucky’s Human Development Institute focuses on supported employment leadership development. Milt also consults with congregational members and clergy about benefits of inclusive faith communities. \nOctober 13\, 14 and 27th from 8:30am-1:00pm including some independent assignments in between sessions URL:https://socialrolevalorization.com/event/principles-of-teaching-for-everyday-life-a-three-part-series-on-competency-development-2/ LOCATION:Zoom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210927 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210930 DTSTAMP:20260928T192300 CREATED:20210528T171410Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210811T192747Z UID:3315-1632700800-1632959999@socialrolevalorization.com SUMMARY:Distance Introduction to SRV Course 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.

Relationships\, exploration\, love\, intimacy\, well-being of self\, and comradeship are all a part of the picture. For many people with disabilities\, social judgement\, taboos\, perceptions\, and role-casting tend to hinder developmental growth\, and the results can include a deep loneliness\, feelings of rejection\, and missing out on important formative experiences.  Join us for an exploration of the guidance SRV theory can provide as we analyze the light that SRV can shine on how to help people towards a robust sense of themselves\, their socio-sexual identities\, and relationships. Viveka and Betsy will provide some basic “SRV Info” on typical responses to sexual expression by people with disability\, and together we’ll talk through ways to work towards better. Expect a lively moderated dialogue which may well raise more questions than it answers! \nPre-requisite: For members of the All India SRV Leadership Network (Graduates of a 3 or 4 day intensive SRV workshop only) \n  \n  URL:https://socialrolevalorization.com/event/shhhh-a-dialogue-on-srv-and-sexuality-via-zoom-platform-from-india/ LOCATION:Virtual – US\, PA\, United States CATEGORIES:India END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Honolulu:20210622T090000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Honolulu:20210622T113000 DTSTAMP:20260928T192300 CREATED:20210528T160845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210528T160845Z UID:3302-1624352400-1624361400@socialrolevalorization.com SUMMARY:Ageing and the Good Things of Life: The Application of Social Role Valorization to Supporting People as They Age An SRV Study Group over Zoom from Australia DESCRIPTION:Please join  Ronda Held\, Mike Rungie\, and John Armstrong for an exploration of how social devaluation and SRV theory can be a helpful way to understand the experiences of many older people in society\, and offer insights into how SRV might be applied.
