Learn how an understanding of Social Role Valorisation (SRV) can help expand opportunities and improve life outcomes for your family member with disability
Have you been wondering what you can do to ensure your family member with disability is not disadvantaged by marginalisation, discrimination, and stigma, and instead has the opportunity to thrive and enjoy all that life has to offer? Then this workshop is for you.
In late January, Darcy Elks presented a brilliant workshop on Social Role Valorisation (SRV), a social theory developed by Dr Wolf Wolfensberger to guide efforts to support marginalised people in accessing the good things of life.
Through real stories and examples, she explained how SRV can help expand opportunities and improve life outcomes for people with disability.

Darcy Elks
Darcy Elks is an educator, consultant, human service evaluator, and advocate for people who are societally devalued. She is also a parent of three children, one of whom has an intellectual disability.
Darcy has worked with many different groups of people across the globe, including people who have themselves been marginalised by society, family members, professionals from different disciplines, such as teachers, psychologists, social workers, members of faith communities, and human service providers from several fields (intellectual disability, mental health, and aging).
Darcy’s work focuses on encouraging the development of vision, attitudes, structures, and actions that promote social value and inclusion for people with disability and others who have been devalued and excluded. She is passionate about creating inclusive communities where everyone is welcome and can each use their gifts for the good of one another.
Darcy’s thinking and work have been greatly influenced by her daughter Mary’s life experiences, and her presentations reflect both personal and professional perspectives. She was fortunate to work with Dr Wolf Wolfensberger, who is the creator of Social Role Valorisation (SRV). Elements of SRV are woven throughout Darcy’s work.
