The Voices of Siblings: Tools We Can Use to Help Support Siblings of Children with Mental Health Challenges

November 6 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PST

In this webinar, we will be discussing the role of youth and children who have a sibling living with mental health challenges. Siblings play an important role in the family dynamic. It is common to get questions on how we can best support them and respond to questions that they ask. During this webinar, we will explore:

  • The common sibling dynamics along with emotions and behaviors that may arise in the household, community, or hospital setting
  • Useful coping strategies and activities to involve siblings the best way we can when supporting a child with mental health challenges
  • How to talk to your children about their sibling’s diagnosis
  • Resources that can be used to support all family members (parent and caregiver resources, sibling resources)
