Sibling Support Group

Purpose: It is a group for and about brothers and sisters of persons with

developmental disabilities. Siblings meet to talk about their

mutual concerns and feelings. They gain information regarding

the specific problems of their brothers and sisters and come to

realize that their family and personal situations are not

necessarily unique. The groups are fun, informative and provide

a great deal of support.
