WORKSHOPS
SRV (Social Role Valorization)
Social roles dominate
people's lives and people
largely perceive themselves
and each other in terms
of their roles. The
value people attribute
to various social roles
tends to decisively
shape their behavior
toward person whom they
see in valued or devalued
roles. SRV is a high-level
and systematic schema,
based on social role
theory, for addressing
the plight of people
who are devalued by
others, and especially
by major sectors of
their society.

their life experiences,
resulting vulnerabilities
and needs; to encourage

to really identify with
the people you are supporting;
to provide you with
an opportunity to reflect
on the life experiences;
to "walk in the shoes"
of the people you are
supporting.
