SUMMARY:Exploring the Places and Spaces Where Community Happens: A Workshop on Community Mapping
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Places and Spaces Where Community Happens: A Workshop on Community Mapping\n June 9 2026 @ 9:00 AM – June 30 2026 @ 1:30 PM EDT\nHow can we make connections to places\, associations\, and opportunities that will give the people we support a chance to participate and contribute their gifts\, talents\, and passions? We teach and talk a lot in our work about helping vulnerable people get involved in their communities\, yet many of us are unsure how to proceed in our own lives\, much less in the lives of others. We invite you to explore community with us in an experiential fashion\, using a process of discovery called Community Mapping. Where does community life take place? Where are the places that people gather together? How can we join in authentically\, and assist others to do so as well? Most importantly\, how might life change if we are successful? This two-day event takes an in-depth look at what is involved in Community Mapping and have an opportunity to experience it for yourself. \nBe prepared to explore\, research\, travel the neighborhood\, and talk to others – the first step in understanding where people can offer their gifts is learning the paths and places that already exist\, and that others have traveled. \n6/9 and 6/30 Registration\nDay 1 June 9\, 2026 9:00 am – 1:30 pm EDT \nDay 2 June 30\, 2026 9:00 am – 1:30 pm EDT

SUMMARY:SRV Study Group: Life Sharing
DESCRIPTION:SRV Study Group: Life Sharing\nWe often pronounce service practices overwhelmingly “good” or “bad\,” yet the reality is more complex as any practice may offer both advantages and pitfalls for vulnerable people. SRV gives us a unique way to assess impact: spotting what helps people access the good things of life\, while revealing risks and shortcomings that could cause harm. \nThis study group series invites SRV-savvy folks to examine practices and discuss hopeful possibilities and worries together. \nThis six-session study group series is designed to explore common human service practices through the lens of Social Role Valorization (SRV). Throughout the series\, we’ll take a closer look at practices often labeled as “good” or “bad” and uncover the nuances – what truly helps people access the good things of life\, and what might unintentionally cause harm. Each session will provide context\, real-world examples\, and collaborative analysis\, giving us the chance to identify hopeful possibilities and safeguard against potential pitfalls. \nREGISTER
