A play therapy group for siblings of disabled children
Sibling relationships are always complex. When one of the siblings is disabled, the many layers of emotion can be difficult for the non-disabled sibling to negotiate. Feelings of love and family loyalty compete with feelings of frustration, anger and embarrassment. “Of course I love my brother/sister, but why does he/she have to…” This group is designed to give children a place to explore and express these feelings with others who are going through the same or similar experiences.
