3.  John O'Brien shares about social roles in a process he calls “SSR: Supporting Social Roles”: Social Roles name the parts people play in the social settings and relationships that make up their lives. Social roles identify the different ways that people relate to one another, belong to each other, count on each other, and are responsible to each other. They point to the ways a person can contribute and make a difference in other people’s lives.
