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.

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.

SUMMARY:Introduction to PASSING
DESCRIPTION:This five-day workshop is for those who are interested in deepening their knowledge about the principles of Social Role Valorization. This workshop involves learning to use the PASSING assessment tool\, which looks at the realities of Social Role Valorization in practice. It emphasizes the impact of services on the lives of the people being served and provides an opportunity to craft a vision of a good service and the foundation from which to design relevant and effective support\, service\, advocacy\, and assess service quality. \nThe work of PASSING is done in teams\, visiting a residential and a “day” service\, meeting the people being served\, and conducting interviews with service administrators. The workshop involves extensive personal reflection and analysis\, group conciliation\, and thought-provoking discussion. The week’s work is conducted under the guidance of an experienced team leader. \nPrior attendance at a three- or four-day Introduction to a full Social Role Valorization theory course\, either online or in-person\, is required to register for this event. \nThis workshop includes five days and four long nights.  Participants can check into the hotel on the afternoon of Sunday\, October 25\, 2026.
