SUMMARY:Leadership Level SRV Series Workshop Part 1 of 9
DESCRIPTION:THIS WORKSHOP PROVIDES an introduction to Social Role Valorization (SRV)\, developed by Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger. His 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. SRV is a systematic\, universally applicable framework for structuring human services\, applicable to administration\, board members\, direct service workers\nand families. SRV describes a close relationship between the perceived value of the 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 people who are seen in devalued roles\, and good things tend to be afforded to people in positively valued roles.\nThe workshop offers a critical SRV-based look at many contemporary human service practices. Participants will benefit from lectures\, question and answer periods\, and discussion. Written assignments will be accomplished between\nsessions and will form the basis for reflection and conversation. \nFebruary 1\, 5\, 8\, 12\, 15\, 19\, 22\, 26\, 29 from 4pm-8pm EST.

SUMMARY:Medical Safeguarding: Addressing Vulnerability in Medical Settings
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we’ll explore the unpleasant and paradoxical reality that patients in medical settings are exposed to dangers which can jeopardize their health and safety. This is a reality for all people\, but it is especially ominous for people who are members of a socially disadvantaged class\, including those who are elderly and/or impaired. Attendees will receive practical guidelines and measures for protecting people in medical settings\, gleaned from thirty years experience with the Medical Safeguards Project of Shriver Clinical Services Corporation in Massachusetts. \nThis webinar will be open captioned and ASL interpretation will be provided. Please email info@wpdhac.org if you require any additional accommodations. \nAbout the Presenters\nCathy Ludlum’s personal and professional activities focus on the inclusion of people with disabilities in all areas of community life.

She has written several books\, including a manual on how to hire personal assistants. Most recently\, as the Employer Liaison for the Connecticut Association of Personal Assistants (CTAPA)\, Cathy has been assisting employers by providing information about Medicaid waiver programs\, management tips\, and creative brainstorming. Cathy Ludlum is an associate of the SRV Implementation Project\, working on the issue of the vulnerability of people with impairments in medical settings.She teaches workshops with Jo Massarelli on medical safeguarding and on demystifying assisted hydration and nutrition\, or what it is like to have a g-tube. She has lived independently (with support) since 1992. \nJo Massarelli is Director of the SRV Implementation Project based in Massachusetts (USA). She divides her time between teaching Social Role Valorization and related topics and working to effect positive change for elders\, people with impairments\, and the poor.

Ms. Massarelli has evaluated dozens of human service programs for children\, adults and elders\, including in-home services\, residential\, day and work programs\, schools\, hospice\, prisons\, and homeless shelters. Jo Massarelli is a consultant to Family Lives\, a home nursing service for children with significant medical needs\, and the Medical Safeguards Project\, an effort of physicians and nurses who seek to protect the lives of impaired people in medical settings.

SUMMARY:Protective Measures: Chapters in the History of Child Welfare An ISRVA Study Session
DESCRIPTION:Children are among society’s most vulnerable people. Abuse\, poor access to the good things of life\, social stigma and death are just a few of the common life experiences facing children living below the poverty line or who are vulnerable for other reasons. Many service practices and structures have been developed to address the difficult circumstances facing young people\, yet society’s response to vulnerable children is often shaped by its history and the mindsets that have developed overtime. Seldom do we take time to pause and reflect on where those mindsets come from and what approaches have been used. \n  \nThis two hour presentation and discussion will selectively describe the age old problems of abandonment and infanticide; oblation and orphanages in the Middle -Ages; and the birth of modern child welfare services in the 1850s that foreshadows the principle of normalization. \nRaymond Lemay is a senior SRV teacher who has spent much of his career in child welfare and has an abiding interest in the history of services to children and youth\, and its ongoing relevance to current human service trends. \nPlease join ISRVA for this fascinating history of services to vulnerable children and youth\, rooted in western countries but with lessons for all.

SUMMARY:Public Hostage\, Public Ransom: Ending Institutional America An Online Discussion with Dr. William Bronston
DESCRIPTION:Dr. William Bronston\, author ofPublic Hostage Public Ransom: Ending Institutional America\nwill share his story of working at Willowbrook State School in Staten Island\, NY\, in the 1970’s\, where6000 persons with disabilities were incarcerated under abusive conditions. He catalyzed a Federal Class Action Lawsuit against the state of New York to close the death making institution.\nWillowbrook and the many other institutions across the country that warehoused people with disabilities were Medicaid funded. Dr. Bronston posits that many people with disabilities are still “public hostages”\, consigned again to profit driven\, segregated\, and congregated institutional lives\, funded by Medicaid’s billions\, America’s “public ransom”. He draws a clear line to indict State bureaucracies and provides a strategic rationale to end Title 19 of   Security Act\, the Medicaid system\, to heal the deep societal wound that the segregated nursing home and assisted living industry enact on people with disabilities and their families. He sees universal expanded and improved Medicare for all\, single payer health care\, as the clear solution and ultimate antidote to this highly segregated system that exists now\, and we tolerate. The shocking horrors of Willowbrook State School were exposed and will never be forgotten. Doctor Bronston takes on all of America’s institutions that have not learned the lesson of the tragedy of Willowbrook. His presentation will be a reminder of all we still must do to build a just world for the many who are unable to find it for themselves.\nJoin the Keystone Institute\, The Institute on Disabilities at Temple University\,\nand the Western PA Disability History & Action Consortium for a\nthought-provoking discussion forum with Dr. William Bronston\nEvent Information\nFor More Information\nTuesday\, February 27\, 2024 1:00 PM-3:00 PM\nvia Zoom\nwww.KeystoneInstitute.

SUMMARY:Leadership Level SRV Series Workshop via Zoom Part 9 of 9
DESCRIPTION:THIS WORKSHOP PROVIDES an introduction to Social Role Valorization (SRV)\, developed by Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger. His 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. SRV is a systematic\, universally applicable framework for structuring human services\, applicable to administration\, board members\, direct service workers\nand families. SRV describes a close relationship between the perceived value of the 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 people who are seen in devalued roles\, and good things tend to be afforded to people in positively valued roles.\nThe workshop offers a critical SRV-based look at many contemporary human service practices. Participants will benefit from lectures\, question and answer periods\, and discussion. Written assignments will be accomplished between\nsessions and will form the basis for reflection and conversation. \nFebruary 1\, 5\, 8\, 12\, 15\, 19\, 22\, 26\, 29 from 4pm-8pm EST.
