Living in a State of Multiple Jeopardies: Systemic Racism and its Presence in the Lives of People with Disabilities
2021-07-28 10:00 - 12:00 | Zoom Online Platform
The complex and prevailing forces of systemic racism are an ever present reality for many populations within our society. With the added stigmatization of disability, these forces compound with the dynamics of devaluation and add to the heightened vulnerability experienced in the lives of many people. Segregation, incarceration, poverty, and violence are often constant threats and a reality of life. Please join the Keystone Institute for this Study Group as we look into these complex interactions within our society and explore what SRV has to offer to better understand the devaluation and vulnerability experienced by persons of color with disabilities, as well as strategies to combat these forces in the lives of many of the people we serve. This Study Group is open to those who have completed a full Introduction to Social Role Valorization Workshop.

Seeing Is Believing: The Power of Mindsets
2021-07-27 10:00 - 12:00 | Online
Seeing Is Believing: The Power of Mindsets
Mindsets are powerful shapers of action – they govern what we see, what we perceive, and how we respond to the world around us and the people we encounter. Intended for those with some exposure to Social Role Valorization, this workshop will examine the power of mindsets and the types of strategies that might help shift the thinking of others about people with disabilities as well as the mindsets of people with disabilities. Join Betsy Neuville for this thoughtful consideration of one of the many instructive “gems” of SRV.
Pre-Requisites: All participants need to have a one-day introductory course in SRV

Unrest (SRV Study Group)
2021-06-24 10:00 - 12:30 | Online
Unrest: At the age of 28, Jennifer Brea experienced a mysterious fever, leaving her confined to her bed in the midst of pursuing a Ph.D. from Harvard and planning a wedding with her beloved fiancé. In seeking restoration of health, Jennifer was met with disbelief from medical professionals and consistent concern for her mental well-being. Unsatisfied with giving up on the vision she help for her life, Jennifer took to the internet and discovered many others experiencing similar undiagnosed medical conditions.
Please join the Keystone Institute for a viewing of “Unrest” as we watch how, from her bed, Jennifer connects with others around the globe, conducting interviews and curating intimate portraits which celebrate the unique identities of four people for whom the stigma of the sick role has become life defining. Vicki Shaw and Elisa Parmer will facilitate reflective discussion about Jennifer’s personal journey to overcome the role of “patient” and experience the good things of life that valued roles have to offer.
*Prior attendance at a full multi-day Introduction to SRV Theory Course is required.
Documenting Difference: An SRV Study Group Series: This SRV study group series will explore some of the films produced over the past ten years documenting the life experiences of a wide array of people facing societal devaluation. This year’s documentary selection will focus on real life stories from children and adults experiencing mental health conditions and those living with physical and intellectual impairment. Each study group will incorporate facilitated discussion guided by members of the KHS SRV Leadership Group. Together we will reflect on the life experiences of those being depicted, what relevant SRV themes can be identified, and how what we learn can impact the service each of us provides through roles within the organization.

May 19
Held via Zoom from 9am-12:30pm
The Road Most Travelled: Using the Culturally Valued Analogue as Your Guide
Social Role Valorization principles contains many “gems” – ideas that have great power and applicability towards making life fuller and richer for those who are at risk of social devaluation. The culturally valued analogue, or CVA, is one such gem. In this workshop, we will explore this idea, applying ourselves to studying the natural pathways as a basis for strategies, methods and tactics used to help people, especially those marginalized, to have valued roles and gain the good things of life. The simple yet potent use of the CVA in all your work toward a better life will help anchor you again and again.

Offering Your Gifts Through Service
This workshop explores the potential for connection, contribution and transformation when people decide to commit to each other to make life better. Sometimes being in formal service relationships with vulnerable people can be fraught with limitation, but there is no doubt that there is room to make a difference. Through a series of reflections, guided discussions and facilitated work, this event assists people to think through gifts that they bring to others, the impact that their presence in the lives of vulnerable people has, and the possibilities that lie in the “being there” in real ways for others.

A Dangerous Son (SRV Study Group)
2021-04-15 10:00 - 12:30 | Online
A Dangerous Son: It is estimated that 17.1 million children have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, often beginning before age 14. The documentary “A Dangerous Son” follows three families of children with significant psychiatric and emotional disorders as they attempt to navigate the limited yet complex systems and processes available in hopes of finding some form of support for their children.
Please join us for the Keystone Institute’s viewing of “A Dangerous Son” where Sue Rowell, Angela Pilarski, and Pamela Seetoo will facilitate discussion, helping us see how wounds such as segregation, physical and social discontinuity, and negative role casting, and reflect on the response of support systems and families as they struggle to identify effective strategies that will truly meet the children’s most pressing needs and address the powerful impacts of what could be life-long wounding and devaluation.

Distance Introduction to SRV
March 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, 31 (time frames listed below)
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 social 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 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.

Principles of Teaching for Everyday Life: A Three Part Series on Competency Development
March 3, 4, & 17, including some independent experiential work in between sessions
Presented via Zoom 8:30am-1:00pm each day
Human beings have vastly more growth potential than is realized by most people, and this is especially true for people with disabilities. We’re all hard-wired to contribute – seeing purpose in our efforts and doing things for others. All too often people with disabilities are denied the powerful and innate joy of contributing to others, finding themselves continually on the receiving end of assistance. In authentically supporting people to a more meaningful life, we have an obligation to help people develop relevant skills and abilities that will serve as a pathway to valued social roles and access to the good things of life. Knowing what to do and having ways to contribute is what makes valued social roles authentic. This three part series will focus on why developing competencies is so important, strategies for developing our own teaching competencies, and an opportunity to put the learning into practice.
Join the Keystone Institute as we welcome Milton Tyree to lead us through this learning series. Milton Tyree has 40 years of 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. His work for the University of Kentucky’s Human Development Institute focuses on supported employment leadership development. Milt also consults with congregational members and clergy about benefits of faith communities.

Providing Medical Safeguards to Vulnerable People: An Issue of Life and Death
2021-02-18 09:00 - 12:30 | Online
Medical settings can have great potential to heal, and frightening potential to cause harm. The dynamics of social devaluation, negative role casting and societal unconsciousness leave vulnerable people at grave risk of receiving poor, inadequate, or no health care; meaning strong advocacy and informed support are necessary to protect and safeguard people’s health and even their very lives. In this workshop taught by Genia Stephen, consultant, podcast host, and founder of Good Things of Life, participants will gain a deeper appreciation for the vulnerability people with disabilities face in medical settings, consider their role and duty to keep vulnerable people safe, and learn and develop practical strategies for doing so.

As a mother of a child with medical impairments, a midwife, and medical advocate, Genia Stephen has spent decades understanding, studying and practicing medical safeguards from an SRV perspective and lending her experience and knowledge to assist families and support workers to develop a high level pf consciousness and practical skills that will keep people safe, healthy and thriving in medical settings, and in all aspects of life. She lives in Ontario Canada and is currently completing her Master of Science degree in Evidence-Based Health Care at the University of Oxford.

Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution (SRV Study Group)
2021-02-17 10:00 - 12:30 | Online
Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution
In the early 1970s, around the peak of institutionalization in the United States, a group of teenagers with disabilities were attending a summer camp in the Catskills of New York State. Facing the realities of physical and social distancing, these young campers found solace and vision in one another. Camp Jened served as a meeting ground for some of the most formative activists in the Disability Rights Movement.
Post high school, many of these same campers ventured to Berkeley, California where they continued to dream, organize, and do the hard work of deconstructing many of the physical barriers preventing people with disabilities from being integrated and experiencing true citizenship. Please join the Keystone Institute for our screening of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution. Together, we will view the film, as well as engage in facilitated discussion around this largely uncelebrated but profound movement in American history.

The Comforts of Home: Exploring Valued Roles as a Source of Peace and Place During Calm and Crisis
2021-02-10 10:00 - 12:00 | Online
The Comforts of Home: Exploring Valued Roles as a Source of Peace and Place During Calm and Crisis
For many of us, home is a springboard for going out into the world with our best foot forward. It is a place of rest, refreshment, identity and meaningful relationships. In these most recent times of pandemic and crisis, home as an extension and expression of who we are, as a place of solace, comfort and safety, as a place to explore new things; becomes more important, and even critical for our well- being.

We know there are many barriers to this experience of true home for people living in formal human service settings. And, because so much of our work revolves around supporting people at home, we have a high obligation and vast opportunities to offer people home in its truest form. While spending increased amounts of time at home and adhering to necessary physical and social distancing procedures have been difficult, most notably for people already experiencing lots of isolation and segregation, we can use this time to focus on what authentic home has to offer the people we serve, and how valued roles in and around home can serve as a source of comfort, peace and place.

Join the Keystone Institute as we explore some of the obstacles to creating home in a formal service setting and how changes in home life have impacted people during the pandemic. We will also offer some practical tools and strategies for supporting people to have access to the good things that home and valued roles in and around home, have to offer.

Distance Introduction to SRV
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 social 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 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.
