Welcome to SRVIP

The Social Role Valorization Implementation Project (SRVIP) is a human service training, evaluation and consultation effort aimed at addressing the social devaluation of impaired and other vulnerable people in contemporary society. Social Role Valorization (SRV), as articulated by Wolf Wolfensberger, PhD, is our theoretical base. It posits that people who hold socially valued roles generally have easy access to the ‘good things of life’ that society has to offer. The main approach of SRV is to safeguard and maintain any valued roles which people hold, and to develop new valued roles for those who lack them.
