significant siblings
About this group
Being a sibling of a child who has special needs can be tiring and isolating at times, even when you are sitting in the waiting rooms right along side your family. It's also a position that is often best understood by others in the same position. This group doesn't aim to solve or 'fix', but simply aims to be a relaxed group where you can hang out with other kids who are siblings, and to be acknowledged. Ages: Primary school When and Where: please register interest for this group Cost: $70 per session |
