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.

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.
