Sibworks Group Programme - Australia

Siblings of children with disabilities or chronic illness have particular needs themselves. Some can feel quite isolated.

Sibling groups allow these children to come together, have fun, share experiences and learn ways of dealing positively with challenges they face.

The manual and accompanying participant booklet outline a specific program for young siblings and is based on the collective experiences of the authors (Kate Strohm from Siblings Australia and Dr Monique Nesa from Curtin University) and service providers around Australia, as well as overseas.

Whilst the program has been primarily devised for siblings aged between 8 and 12 years, it can be adapted for other age groups.
