Narrative

Community Sibling Groups are designed to help an exceptional and often overlooked population of children: Siblings of children with special needs. These siblings are in complex social and psychological relationships. They have needs of their own that require attention and support.

Our Community Sibling Groups are designed to provide a safe and supportive setting where siblings can explore and discuss their own experience of having a brother or sister with special needs. Groups address both their feelings and celebrate their joys and successes. They develop skills to better understand their relationship to themselves and to their brother or sister. This gives them the chance to connect with peers in similar settings.
