Certain groups in society, including people with disability, the elderly, and Indigenous people, are at risk of experiencing marginalisation and stigma. This often leads to discrimination and negative impacts on their lives.
Social Role Valorisation theory (SRV) offers a way to counteract this marginalisation and help people access the good things in life.
You’re invited to register for a two-day foundational SRV workshop, Towards a Better Life, to be held in Canberra in November 2024. Join us to learn about Social Role Valorisation and its practical applications from Senior SRV Trainer John Armstrong and SRV Practitioner and co-teachers Lindie Brengman and Amie Storer.
This workshop is one of our most popular events. Places are limited, so please secure your place to avoid disappointment.
Challenges for marginalised people
Some groups in our society are more likely to experience marginalisation and stigma than others. People with disability, the elderly, indigenous Australians, migrants, and people from low socioeconomic backgrounds are all at risk of living on the fringes of society. The discrimination they experience significantly impacts every aspect of their lives.
People with disability
-are often educated in settings separate from regular classrooms
-tend only to be offered limited employment options
-are likely to be underemployed and/or paid very low wages, leading to financial insecurity
-often have few or no relationships outside their family, leading to social isolation and loneliness
-may experience difficulty accessing quality healthcare
-often have insecure housing or are directed to group housing where they have limited agency.
In other words, marginalised people and groups often don’t have opportunities to enjoy the good things in life.
Life for a person with disability doesn’t have to be like this. There is a powerful way to counteract marginalisation.
It’s called Social Role Valorisation – SRV for short.
In its simplest form, SRV shows us how to support marginalised people to develop valued roles in every part of their lives. The more valued roles a person occupies, the more likely they will gain access to the good life.
We’ve seen countless examples of local people using SRV theory to help their loved ones with disability become valued students, friends, employees, business owners, flatmates, homeowners, neighbours, volunteers, leaders, partners, and countless other valued roles.
If this sounds like something you want for yourself, a family member, or someone you support, join us at a two-day workshop that we’re holding in Canberra in November 2024.
What you’ll learn in this workshop
You’ll learn
-about the devastating impact of social devaluation
-how SRV counteracts experiences of devaluation
-to identify the good things in life and ensure potentially marginalised people can access them
-how to help a person acquire valued social roles that lead to authentic inclusion in their community
and much more.
Don’t miss this foundational training if you are serious about seeking the good things in life for a person with disability.
