Sibling Sessions

The sibling relationship is a great opportunity for learning and growing. We learn how to relate to others consciously or unintentionally from our daily interactions with our family members. Facilitated play-based sessions for siblings help strengthen the bond between them, enhance their emotional intelligence, and improve their communication and problem solving skills.

Social Groups for Neurosibs

An opportunity for play, community and skill building for siblings of children with social communication challenges and other learning differences.

Siblings can experience increased worries and fears based on the added stress or unexpected events of their family lives. Sometimes, siblings can also have their own sensitivities, trouble with peer interactions and managing their emotions.

In this group, Sibs are engaged in social emotional learning and walk away with a tool box to better self-care and navigate social situations. Mindfulness practices are integrated with child-friendly cognitive behavioral therapy strategies all in a fun age-appropriate experience.

Prospective group members are invited to a 30-minute intake with their parents. During the intake the therapist will assess the child’s interests, strengths and areas of need. The therapist will obtain information about the child’s availability during the intake and plan the group meeting time accordingly.

Participants: Sibs ages 8-12. A minimum of four sibs are needed to run the group.

Duration: 10-week group experience (no group during major holidays). The group meets for 1 hour. Once the group starts, new members will only be added if the sib is determined to complement and benefit the group.
