SUMMARY:Community and Culture: A Reflective Learning Event and Part of the Best Part of Me Retreat Series
DESCRIPTION:Community and Culture: A Reflective Learning Event and Part of the Best Part of Me Retreat Series\nThis 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. \nCommunity 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? \nThe format\, location\, and time frames for this event will be determined based on more up-to-date circumstances and safety precautions regarding the pandemic. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Am I Connected? : A Discussion on Technology’s Capacity to Bring Us Together and Keep Us Apart (and the Impacts on Devalued People)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nDetails \nDate: \nOctober 11\, 2021 \nTime: \n9:30 am – 12:00 pm EDT \nVenue:\nZoom Online Platform\nRegister: https://eneuville.wufoo.com/forms/qp11mw81w7b1yx/

SUMMARY:Principles of Teaching for Everyday Life: A Three Part Series on Competency Development
DESCRIPTION:Principles of Teaching for Everyday Life: A Three Part Series on Competency Development\nHuman 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. \nJoin 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. \nOctober 13 2021 @ 8:30 am – 1:00 pm EDT\nOctober 14 2021 @ 8:30 am – 1:00 pm EDT\nOctober 27 2021 @ 8:30 am – 1:00 pm EDT\n(including some independent experiential work in between sessions) \nRegister \n

SUMMARY:Healing Voices (SRV Study Group)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \n*Prior attendance at a full multi-day Introduction to SRV Theory Course is required. \nDocumenting 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. \nDetails \nDate:\nOctober 21\, 2021 \nTime:\n10:00 am – 12:30 pm
