SibSpace

SibSpace groups are designed especially for the sibling who have a brother or sister with physical, social, or emotional issues. They may have been formally diagnosed or are just high needs.

Special needs often create a tremendous amount of strain on the family. Parents may feel drained of time, energy, and emotional resources. Consequently, there is often less left over for the typical sibling.

Siblings share many similar feelings and experiences of their parents as it regards the special needs child. The siblings are not usually as well equipped as adults to cope with the demands and effects of having a special/high needs sibling.

SibSpace was created to help siblings find a healthy place where they can feel understood, have shared experiences, and develop coping skills particular to having a special needs oriented family. SibSpace meetings are fun, informative, interactive, developmentally appropriate groups that provide preventative steps in fostering a healthier experience within the family.
