SRV 2 day March workshop

ImagineMore presents-

Towards a Better Life: Social Role Valorisation

An Exploration of the Social Role Valorisation

Framework with regard to people who are marginalised

Conducted by Senior SRV Trainer, John Armstrong

18th & 19th March 2014

What is this workshop about?

This 2 day event is for anyone who is serious about improving the lives
of marginalised and disadvantaged people such as people with a mental
illness, people with disabilities, frail aged and people experiencing
poverty or homelessness.

This 2 day workshop is designed to assist participants to:



o Understand social devaluation and its consequences for people who are
marginalised;

o Learn about SRV as a means of addressing those experiences of
devaluation;

o Strengthen one's motivation to counteract devaluation in the lives of
people one knows and supports; and

o Clarify the features of a good life and the essential means of
obtaining that good life.

The ideas in SRV theory often pose a challenge to participants as they
directly address what is really involved in achieving valued social
roles within one's community. In this way SRV becomes an ongoing
stimulus to examine what is authentically optimal for people with a
devalued status.

Participants will be asked to consider and discuss how individuals,
human services and society contribute to the marginalisation of such
people. The event will inspire participants to reflect on the value of
obtaining a 'good life' and consider how we may support people who have
been denied so many beneficial features of a good life to have better
lives and greater involvement in their communities. The importance of
valued social roles will be considered, and how positive roles can be
supported and developed.
