Overview of SRV Workshops in Australia
‘Towards a Better Life: an exploration of the Social Role Valorisation framework with regard to people who are marginalised’
This workshop explores the dynamics of social devaluation and its impact on people with disabilities, aged people and other marginalised groups. This workshop will examine how the acquisition of valued roles can contribute to changed societal perceptions and strengthen the likelihood that people with a devalued status get a better life. The core themes and principles of SRV will be explored through presentations, exercises and discussion.
‘PASSING’ PASSING is a practicum – It is an opportunity to use the PASSING evaluation tool to look at the impact of human services on those who receive services.
This event includes visits to two human services; interviews and conversations with both the people who receive the service and those who provide the service. Following each study visit, you will use rigorous discussion and evaluation to analyse the impact of the service on the lives of the people who receive a service. This helps participants to appreciate in greater depth the reality of issues involved in trying to support people to acquire socially valued roles in community life.
‘SRV10 – A Revised Conceptualisation of Social Role Valorisation
This is a 4-day intensive SRV workshop that explores the 10 related SRV themes. Though not run frequently, it is a more substantial SRV theory event and is designed for those in leadership situations, whether work or personal.
