Dignity and SRV

"Social Role Valorization (SRV) is a high-level service and relationship theory based on empirical knowledge for the design and rendering of both formal and informal services and relationships to any kind of people with any kind of need or condition, but especially those who are devalued or at risk thereof."

At Dignity we believe that if we use the tools which SRV provides, the people in our care will be (and feel) more valued as people. We hope that people who work with us will take these tools and use them out of the workplace bringing higher value to everyone they come into contact with but particularly those who are devalued by society. All our staff are trained in the principles and themes of SRV and understand the relationship between their actions, deeds and words and the effect that they can have on the lives of people who are devalued.

We also have a Focus Group which is open to pretty much anyone who wants to join in and meets regularly to share thoughts and opinions about SRV, how we can further value people who are not and encourage each other to continue to use the tools although at times it can be a struggle. If you want to be a part of the SRV Focus Group at Dignity, let me know and we'll tell you when the next event is planned.
