Social Role Valorization (SRV) Workshop

SAVE THE DATE

When and

March 6 – 9, 2012, 9AM – 5PM each day

Where: Atlanta, Georgia

What:

Social Role Valorization (SRV)

The basic idea of SRV is that people are much more likely to experience the

“good things in life” if they hold valued social roles than if they do not.

The major goal of SRV is to create or support socially valued roles for people in their society. If a person holds valued social roles, that person is highly likely to receive those good things in life that are available to that society.

There is a high degree of agreement about what the good things in life are. To mention only a few major examples, they include

being accorded dignity, respect, acceptance; a sense of belonging; an education, and the development and exercise of one’s capacities; a voice in the affairs of one’s community and society; opportunities to participate; a decent material standard of living;

and opportunities for work and self-support.
