Exploring the Places and Spaces Where Community Happens: A Workshop on Community Mapping
How 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-be 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.

Support Susquehanna Service Dogs in Give Local York, a 24-hour giving day. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to raise, train, and place life-changing assistance dogs. Each dog is specially trained to support their partners to live more independently and pursue their goals and dreams.
Donate for Give Local York

Join Us In-Person on May 5!
Rockfish Public House
Second floor
110 N. George Street
York, PA 17401
4:30 pm to 7:00 pm
Rockfish Public House will be donating a portion of bar sales from upstairs to Susquehanna Service Dogs! You’ll also have the opportunity to meet some of our Ambassador Dogs.
Why Give?
SSD Rudder is one of the dogs trained by Susquehanna Service Dogs working in York County. As a facility dog at Red Land High School, SSD Rudder is trained in specific tasks to help students address their emotions and handle stress. She’s changing the dynamic of the school.
“She’ll sit next to a student who’s feeling stressed and help them move on with their day,” said Alison Gonce, an English teacher at Red Land and one of Rudder’s handlers. “I got a text message one time to bring her to a classroom where a senior was having a tough time handling the stress of preparing to graduate. In the past, this student would put her head down on her desk and have an emotional outburst when she lifted her head. When I brought Rudder into the classroom, the girl’s head was on her desk. Rudder went right over to her and put her head in her lap. After a moment or so, the girl began petting her. Eventually, she sat up and quietly moved on with her day as if nothing had happened.”
Join us for Give Local York and help create more life-changing partnerships!
Give Local York starts at 9 pm on May 4, giving you a bonus three hours to donate.

Distance Introduction to Social Role Valorization
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 roles by, with, and for those practitioners desire to serve.
This foundational material is essential to those wishing to serve others in meaningful ways, and to those 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.
The workshop includes pre-recorded as well as live presentations, small and large group live reflection and discussion, online forums and resource materials. Participants should be prepared for significant presentations.

Eugenics Past, Present, and Future: The American War Against the Weak
2023-01-13 09:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Online
Eugenics Past, Present, and Future: The American War Against the Weak
There have been many ideologies throughout history which have shaped society’s treatment of “others.” Few have been more powerful or had more devastating impacts than the Eugenics movement, the ideas of which were most fully developed in the United States at the turn of the century and adopted by Germany in the early 1920s with horrific consequences. This educational event will focus on the American Eugenics movement, its champions, its foes, and its work to wage war against some of society’s most vulnerable populations through mass sterilization, brutalization, segregation, and euthanasia. Together we will explore the remnants of Eugenics ideas in today’s society and their potential impacts on devalued groups of people.

About the History, Heroes, and Pioneers in the Field Series
“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, however, if faced with courage, we need not live it again.” – Maya Angelou
It is a longstanding value of Keystone Human Services that in order to truly understand someone, we must understand the person’s history; not only the story of one’s life, but also the experiences of one’s people over time. Yet more and more society is being confronted with gaping holes in our knowledge of the histories of certain groups of people which have been forgotten, suppressed, and even erased. In 2022 the Keystone Institute will be offering educational opportunities, open to all employees, designed to introduce our workforce to histories, heroes, and pioneers in the fields of our services. We will explore historical events, life conditions, and major figures who have served as change agents within the fields of disability, and mental difference. In our remembrance of many who have come before us, we will together affirm our collective commitment to advance the human spirit of those we serve.

Exploring the Places and Spaces Where Community Happens: A Workshop on Community
How 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 in in-depth look at what is involved in Community Mapping and provides an opportunity to experience it for yourself. Be 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.

The Power of Roles
2022-10-05 09:00 - 2022-10-13 12:30 (America/New_York) | Online
The Power of Roles
This workshop gives participants a practical introduction to the principles of Social Role Valorization. Through a combination of multimedia presentation and small group discussion, participants will learn about the phenomenon of social devaluation. This event includes discussion of how people with disabilities and other devalued groups have been systematically hurt and harmed by society, and what the impact of that devaluation has been. Participants will also learn about ways to help people have better lives by supporting them to achieve positive valued social roles. We will discuss practical strategies to make this a reality for the people you support.
*This workshop takes place in two parts over two separate days via Zoom. It is necessary to attend both parts to receive credit for this workshop. KHS employees should register for this workshop through Relias.*

SRV Lessons from Lives Examined: Session Three: Sir Douglas Bader
2022-10-03 09:30 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | Online
SRV Lessons from Lives Examined: Session Three: Sir Douglas Bader
Learning important lessons from a person’s life is a form of respect and valorization – the travails and challenges are made useful and edifying. Indeed, in our work, we encounter many people who despite (or because of) social devaluation and negative life experiences have important stories to tell. Such life stories should be honored and scrutinized. This study group series will review the relevant facts and events in the lives of persons with disabilities or other disadvantages and in an open forum, draw out SRV-related implications that would have practical application to human service. We are pleased to welcome the mentorship of international SRV practitioner and leader, Raymond Lemay, throughout this year’s Study Group Series. We continue our study by exploring the life of Sir Douglas Bader, Royal Air Force flying ace during the Second World War who lost both of his legs in combat. His story serves as an eloquent illustration of the power of social roles to foster high expectations and ultimately resiliency.
