We are planning to run a FREE support group for siblings of children with special needs after half term starting on Tuesday 21st February 2012.
The group will meet on Tuesdays from 6.00pm – 8.00pm at Brookfields School finishing on 27/3/12.
The aim of the programme is to:
Have Fun: Creating an environment in which siblings will make new friends and enjoy themselves.
Relieve Isolation: Giving siblings the opportunity to socialise.
Acknowledge feelings: Through discussions and games siblings will be able to talk about their feelings and experiences with other siblings.
Model coping strategies: Siblings may learn how to manage difficult situations.
Enhance Knowledge: Siblings may learn more about their brother or sister’s needs.
If you have a child who would like to join the group then please print out, complete and return this reply slip.
