SUMMARY:Foundations of Best Practice: A Glimpse of SRV
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Best Practice: A Glimpse of SRV\nAcross India\, change leaders committed to better lives for people with developmental and psychosocial disability are talking and learning about Social Role Valorization (SRV)\, a powerful set of ideas about how to assist people to have full\, rich\, meaningful lives. SRV provides a high-order framework for understanding the society in which we live\, and the place people with disabilities tend to hold within in. As well\, SRV thinking is accompanied by very practical implementation strategies to help people with disabilities have access to the good things of life. Please join us as we introduce participants to the basics of Social Role Valorization. \nThis overview event will present 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. People wishing to understand the life experiences of people they support and the implications of those life experiences\, and are committed to the work of making life better are encouraged to attend. \nThis 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. \nPre-requisites: Open to all \nDate: January 19\, 2024\nTime: 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm IST\nVenue: Online: Zoom\nCollaborating Partners: Rural India Supporting Trust\nLead faculty: Elizabeth Neuville\, Geeta Mondol\nLanguage: English\nCapacity: 35\nPre-Requisites: Open to all\nRegistration Contact:  Prashansa Pandey\, Program Leader\, Events and Workshops\, ppandey@khs.org

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
