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*

Community and Culture: A Reflective Learning Event and Part of the Best Part of Me Retreat Series
2021-10-06 | TBD, Lancaster, PA, United States
Community and Culture: A Reflective Learning Event and Part of the Best Part of Me Retreat Series
This retreat series includes four experiential workshops; each workshop focuses on exploring our work in human services, what our contributions are, and what we get from the opportunity to serve others. All jobs that support people are important, be they in direct service or of an administrative nature providing essential support to the people doing hands on work. Additionally, each of us is at a different place in our commitment to the work that we do. This workshop series can help to define and reaffirm that commitment.
Community and Culture provides a forum for addressing assumptions and attitudes around the work we do. What is our role in society’s evolving understanding of difference between people, their abilities, and contributions? What effect can we have on future generations? How do our own backgrounds, cultures, community groups, and social influences impact what we uniquely bring to the work?
The format, location, and time frames for this event will be determined based on more up-to-date circumstances and safety precautions regarding the pandemic.

Am I Connected? : A Discussion on Technology’s Capacity to Bring Us Together and Keep Us Apart (and the Impacts on Devalued People)
2021-10-11 09:30 - 12:00 | Zoom Online Platform
Technology has served as a primary connector for so many of us during the COVID-19 pandemic. Without it, the isolation, social distance, and inactivity may have had even more devastating impacts than what we did experience. While in some ways the pandemic did offer a somewhat urgent call to assist vulnerable people to access and use technology as well, the chasm in technological accessibility for devalued people is still vast and navigating its usage in ways that go beyond service mediation and convenience and truly reflect culturally valued means, is still a stretch. The impact can often be increased isolation, loneliness, and distancing for vulnerable people. Join Vicki Shaw, Information Security Director and Kim Riegel, Clinical Specialist in Intellectual Disability Services for an exploration of how we can capitalize on the benefits of technology in concert with the principles and themes of SRV to help people gain access to some of the good things of life.

Principles of Teaching for Everyday Life: A Three Part Series on Competency Development
2021-10-13 08:30 - 2021-10-27 13:00 | Online
Principles of Teaching for Everyday Life: A Three Part Series on Competency Development
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.

Healing Voices (SRV Study Group)
2021-10-21 10:00 - 12:30 | Online
Healing Voices: Model Coherency informs us that our fundamental assumptions about people, the world, and human nature will drive our actions. These assumptions play out unconsciously and powerfully in the service content that gets provided to devalued people. So many assumptions drive our beliefs about how to address psychiatric disorders; the belief that they are rooted in physiological causes, accompanied by “symptoms” and labeled as “syndromes” is just one set of beliefs that has resulted in massive medication of people with such disorders.
The documentary “Healing Voices” speaks to the historic perceptions behind society’s response to psychological conditions over time and challenges the use of a medical model of care in what is now largely referred to as the field of “mental health.” This film follows three men and women with lived experience of a psychiatric condition as they advocate for less medication and more connections to others experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations through a network of “listening spaces.” Join the Keystone Institute for a viewing of the documentary “Healing Voices” followed by facilitated group discussion and analysis with Betsy Neuville, Ellwyn Andres, and Matthew Nguyen.
*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.

Rising Phoenix (SRV Study Group)
2021-12-16 10:00 - 12:30 | Online
Rising Phoenix SRV Study Group: Sir Ludwig Guttman recognized sport as central to the rehabilitation of people with spinal cord injuries, and organized the first competition for athletes in wheelchairs, which took place during the opening ceremonies of the 1948 London Olympic Games. The term Paralympic has less to do with the physical condition of “paralysis” and more with a gaming competitions for those with disabilities which would “parallel” the Olympics. Since 1960, the Paralympics have taken place every four years, evolving over time to include more disciplines.
Stacy Buchman, Sandi Slezak, and Elisa Parmer will lead us as we view “Rising Phoenix,” which unearths the history of a sports movement which has overcome great adversity to defend the humanity of all people. The film follows several Paralympic athletes as they work tirelessly to achieve athletic championship and redefine how disability is perceived on a global scale.

Those of us who live in the United States have grown up learning about the various eras, movements, and events that have shaped this nation. More and more we are discovering that many people have been removed from our collective studies. While history classrooms all over the country are learning about events like the European settlement all the way to the Great Depression, few turn their attention to how the major change points of U.S. history have impacted people living with various impairments and even shaped the way we define disability in our culture. Please join the Keystone Institute as we explore the history of the United States of America through the lens of disability.

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.

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*

Employment Works: Making Good Employment a Reality for People with Disabilities

Employment Works: Making Good Employment a Reality for People with Disabilities
Recognizing that meaningful work is one of the good things of life, the workshop begins with an examination of historical strategies and ideas about work. We will examine the important role of the employment expert in effectively supporting people on the job in depth. We will also introduce the Discovery Process as a tool to assist people and their supporters to identify what the person could contribute to the workplace and what is necessary for them to be successful. Important considerations about planning and working with potential employers to customize employment form the basis of the final session. Those wishing to help someone in their lives attain a good job will have an opportunity to think more deeply about the steps involved and learn from the experience of others.
Milton 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.
*This is a four-part workshop with each session building on the previous. Participants must attend all sessions. The workshop explores several topics related to employment for people with intellectual disabilities.
