Our philosophy is based on the theory of Social Role Valorization, or SRV. At Community Ventures in Living we believe that everyone is entitled to the good things in life and one tool we use to ensure this is SRV. Through SRV training our staff is introduced to a variety of approaches that are used to help individuals with developmental disabilities create positive social roles. This enables these individuals to enjoy the benefits of their community and become truly valued members.
As a companion to SRV, Community Ventures in Living also trains staff in PASSING. This intensive instruction is focused on realizing the positive outcomes that are achieved when service is based on the practices of Social Role Valorization.
