Many siblings plan on being part of their sibling's future, but starting the conversation with current caregivers, oftentimes parents, can be difficult. What types of information should you talk about? What are the resources available? What supports are available?
In this workshop, we discuss how to frame the issue and how to start this conversation and what types of supports and resources are available for you to move forward!
