Description:

A support group catering for siblings, co-ed, primary school age held three times a term 4-5.45pm, usually on a Wednesday. The program is not disability specific. The group gives siblings an opportunity to share their stories and explore their experiences of having a brother or sister with a disability in a non-threatening and relaxed environment through the use of games and group activities. Past group activities have included an art show, sibling/parent camp and recording of a CD facilitated by a music therapist. It is important to note that families do not have to be members of Yooralla or utilise other Yooralla facilities for siblings to participate in the program.
