Are you an adult who has grown up with a disabled brother or sister? Would you like to meet others who just ‘get’ what life as a sibling is like? You’re not alone. The UK charity Sibs has a ‘Sheffield Support Group’ that currently meets online. A sibling-only environment helps siblings to feel comfortable sharing their experiences with others who truly understand. Some siblings who join a group are carers for their brother/sister, and many aren’t. Some siblings who join are bereaved.
You can use this link for more information about the charity, along with the aims of groups and how you can register to attend the Sheffield meetings.
If you’re a parent of a young sibling Sibs has information and tips for supporting young siblings with feelings, attention, and understanding disability or additional needs.
