From Activities to Identity: Practical Strategies to Support Valued Social Roles
Too often, people receiving supports spend their time in activities without gaining meaningful roles in their communities. Yet it is valued social roles — not programs — that shape how people are noticed, known, included, and valued in everyday life.
In this webinar, From Activities to Identity: Practical Strategies to Support Valued Social Roles, we explore what valued social roles really are, why they matter, and how they move people from simply being present in the community to truly belonging. Drawing on Social Role Valorization, social capital, and real-world practice, this session offers practical strategies that staff and organizations can use to support people to gain and sustain meaningful roles.
Participants will leave with concrete, actionable ideas for starting with discovery, connecting people to ordinary community spaces, enhancing social image, facilitating relationships intentionally, rethinking risk and readiness, and aligning daily routines with outcomes that matter. Whether you are a direct support professional, supervisor, or leader, this webinar will challenge program-based thinking and offer practical guidance you can apply right away.
Presented by The Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL).
