Virtual Peer-to-Peer Support and Education for Siblings

A safe place for siblings to explore being a brother or sister to an autistic individual.

Session 3 of 3

Siblings of children with autism/autistic children have a compelling need for information about autism and its implications.  They need information for reassurance, to answer their questions and questions posed by others. This peer support group does just that.

Across 3 peer group sessions Participants will

  • Connect with other youth that also have brothers or sisters with autism.

  • Learn more about autism and how to discuss it with your peers.

  • Have an opportunity to ask questions and provide input about autism and life as a sibling to someone with autism.

  • Share your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment.

Where: Delivered via Google Meet (links will be sent via email)

Cost: There is no cost to participate
