SUMMARY:SRV Reading Circle: Dissonance: Valued Roles and Negative Stereotypes
DESCRIPTION:SRV Reading Circle\nDissonance: Valued Roles and Negative Stereotypes\nEach year the SRV Leadership Group and the Keystone Institute host a series of short study sessions aimed at examining the principles of Social Role Valorization in an informal and relaxed learning format. The 2024 series will take the form of a reading circle\, exploring print media\, books\, and articles. Each session will focus on a selected reading which participants will be provided with and have time to read beforehand. We will meet for lively discussion and deep analysis of the material through an SRV lens. \nWe hope you can join the Keystone Institute for the second Reading Circle Session entitled\, “Dissonance: Valued Roles and Negative Stereotypes.” Shane Burcaw is an author\, blogger\, and entrepreneur who tackles assumptions and perceptions of others in his collection of essays\, Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nurse\, and the Time Person of the Week podcast interview with Eddie Ndopu illuminates assumptions about ability and excellence. This event will explore the themes of Role Expectancy and the Developmental Model through the podcast and select excerpts from this book. \nAs part of the Reading Circle\, we will provide you with Shane Burcaw’s book and the link to the podcast\, give you ample time to read and listen\, and then gather for an enriching discussion on the book and podcast\, specifically focusing on the SRV themes. Join the facilitators Stacy Buchmann\, Victoria Hoshower\, and Courtney Wagner for this participatory learning event. \nDue to the in-depth exploration of SRV topics and themes\, prior attendance to a full 3- or 4-day in-person workshop or 32-hour online workshop is necessary to attend this study session. \nRegister

SUMMARY:SRV Reading Circle: The Nickel Boys
DESCRIPTION:SRV Reading Circle: The Nickel Boys\nEach year the SRV Leadership Group\, along with the Keystone Institute\, hosts a series of short study sessions aimed at examining the principles of SRV in an informal and relaxed learning format. The 2024 series will take the form of a reading circle\, exploring print media\, books\, articles\, and even children’s books. Each session will focus on a selected reading which participants will be provided with and have time to read beforehand. We will meet for lively discussion and deep analysis of the material through an SRV lens. Please join us for what is sure to be a thought-provoking series of events. \nPlease join the Keystone Institute for a Reading Circle Session to discuss the remarkable book The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. This book launches the Keystone Institute’s SRV Study Group series for 2024 taking the form of a Reading Circle. The Nickel Boys is a fictional story of a reform school for boys in the Jim Crow era south\, though it is based on the historic Dozier School. This powerful book explores the themes of devaluation and their brutal effects on the lives of the young boys whose lives it chronicles. \nAs part of the Reading Circle\, we will provide you with the book\, give you ample time to read it\, and then we will gather to discuss the book\, its contents\, themes\, and how it relates to the dynamics of Social Role Valorization. The Nickel Boys is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and is sure to cause us to consider deeply the ramifications of segregation and congregation\, heightened vulnerability of a marginalized group\, brutalization\, and the restorative power of valued social roles. Join the facilitators Shonna Stevens\, Ernie Jose\, L. Danyetta Najoli\, and Matthew Nguyen for this meaningful and participatory event. Due to the in-depth exploration of SRV topics and themes\, prior attendance to a full 28-hour in-person workshop or 32-hour online workshop is necessary to attend this event. \nRegister

SUMMARY:The Problem with the Readiness Model
DESCRIPTION:Change and growth\, learning new things\, acquiring skills and developing competencies – they are essential to living a full life for all humankind.  Helping vulnerable people to do so is the inherent work of personal human service.  All too often\, incoherent human service models\, the impacts of social devaluation\, and even our own mindsets and low expectancies about people result in all sorts of ineffective teaching and missed opportunities for capacity building. These dynamics have resulted in a decades-long focus on getting people “ready” – “ready” for independence\, “ready” for a real job\, “ready” for relationship. What happens when someone will never meet the standard of “ready”?  And what does it even mean to be “ready”? Certainly\, there is often a sequence of development; and growth and change are also flexible and creative and dynamic. \nHow might people progress more meaningfully through a focus on preparedness rather than readiness\, interdependence rather than independence\, and how can we use powerful tools like the dynamics of role circularity\, the culturally valued analogue\, imitation and modeling\, a developmental approach and respectful and healthy accommodations to assist people to emerge toward a life of full of capacity and contribution. Join the Keystone Institute as we welcome Hope Dittmeier\, Milton Tyree\, and Merry-Reid Sheffer for learning\, exploration\, and discussion on these issues that speak to the hands\, head\, and heart of our work in human service. \nHope Leet Dittmeier has devoted the last 40 years in a variety of roles\, personally and professionally\, investigating the question\, “What would it take for people to enjoy ordinary lives in lieu of life in segregation?” As a family member\, Hope has walked alongside her sister-in-law who lived with intellectual disability\, supporting her to have a career\, own a home\, become an integral part of her church community\, fulfill the role of “doting aunt\,” and enjoy a rich personal social network. In professional roles\, she has focused on designing robust supports unique to each individual person. She has championed a variety of causes\, including compassionate responses to people whose behavior challenges others\, increased availability of affordable\, accessible housing\, and Employment First initiatives. Hope’s life and work has been informed on a consistent basis by Social Role Valorization. In addition to doing the work\, Hope has also developed and provided ‘Endeavor for Excellence’ training regarding the implementation of SRV theory in practice. Hope is currently Executive Director at Mattingly Edge where she has been instrumental in transforming a large\, legacy day program that utilized a medical model into a service that provides only individualized supports\, designed to help people enjoy the same good things in life that most people take for granted. Hope holds a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counselling from the University of Kentucky. \nMilton Tyree lives in Louisville\, Kentucky and has 40 years’ experience in the design\, development\, and provision of supports and services centered on people with disabilities having access to valued aspects of everyday life. A particular area of interest has been the ongoing struggle around people with disabilities having good employment. Milt’s efforts have been strongly influenced by the work of the late Dr. Marc Gold\, and he is an associate with Marc Gold & Associates (MG&A). Additionally\, the late Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger’s Social Role Valorization (SRV) theory has been foundational in Milt’s understanding of the importance of good employment for people with disabilities\, the reasons this can be difficult\, and considerations for addressing the challenges. \nMerry-Reid joins us from Kentucky where she is the Director of Employment Services with Edge Employment whose theory of practice is Social Role Valorization. Merry-Reid holds certifications for Customized Employment in Systematic Instruction and Discovery and Job Development through Marc Gold and Associates. She serves as the chair of the Employer Education and Engagement Committee on the Governor’s Employment First Council\, where she helps to spread awareness about the many disabled people living with disabilities who fill (or would like to fill) the valued role of employee and the many benefits that brings to all. Merry-Reid holds a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville and a Master’s Degree in Divinity from Vanderbilt Divinity School and she is currently working on a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Louisville. Her previous work in human services includes serving people who are homeless\, coordinating children’s literacy programs\, and prison abolition advocacy. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Introduction to Social Role Valorization
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Social Role Valorization\nThe 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. \nThis 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. \nThe workshop includes pre-recorded as well as live presentations\, small and large group live reflection and discussion\, online forums and resource materials.

SUMMARY:Creating True Home
DESCRIPTION:Creating True Home\nHome is where we spend so much of our time and it should offer us a place of refuge\, a place to recharge\, a place to be ourselves\, and a launching pad for exploring new valued social roles. Having a true home is so much more than just having four walls and a ceiling. It truly is one of the good things of life\, which is what we want and strive for the people we serve. The reality is\, though\, that for many people in services what they get is not a true home\, but a program: a place where other people work. \nJoin us at the Keystone Institute for the “Creating True Home” workshop where we will explore just how critically important it is in all our lives to have a home\, in the truest sense. We will also discuss the dynamics of devaluation that are so pervasive and omnipresent in the lives of the people we serve that get in the way of having a true home. Then we will discuss what to do as response to these forces to help bring about true home\, one of the good things of life\, to those we serve. Explore this critical sphere of life with us and learn valuable tools\, rooted in the tried and true ideas of Social Role Valorization\, and make plans to help make the lives better of the people we serve by bringing about a true home. \nRegister
