About this Event

What are Sibshops?

Sibshops are an opportunity for children (ages 8 to 13) who have siblings with serious or chronic health problems and/or developmental needs to gain peer support as well as education while having fun.

Why Sibshops?

Siblings of children with special needs play a lifelong role in their sibling’s journey. Sibshops help these siblings process their feelings, connect with others, and build skills that support them today and into the future. Sibshops are semi-structured monthly groups. They last approximately 2 hours and provide opportunities to process the siblings’ emotions and experiences while playing and making new friends. There will be games and food involved. This is strictly for the siblings; not the children with special needs. Toe learn more, visit https://siblingsupport.org/sibshops. Hosting these workshops is a no brainer for us here at Ellie Mental Health Wexford as we’re all about getting creative to help fill the gaps in our local community and this is a major gap that is near and dear to our heart.
