Super Sibshops!
It is time for our super siblings to have the support they deserve in order to live their best life. Often siblings do not realize the power of connecting with other siblings until they experience it.
Offering Sibshops in Southwest Atlanta. Sibshops are lively celebrations of the many contributions made by the brothers and sisters of kids with special needs. They acknowledge that being the brother or sister of a person with special needs is for some a good thing, others a not-so-good thing, and for many somewhere in between. They reflect the belief that brothers and sisters have much to offer one another, if they are given the chance. Sibshops are offered to Sibs 8 to 17 years of age.

BIPOC Mental Health Roundtable
Special Needs Siblings is excited to join forces with Pantherum Marketing and The Prime Theory Company to introduce the BIPOC Mental Health Roundtable Series.
An estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older — about 1 in 4 adults — suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. We know that these numbers have steadily increased during the pandemic. Additionally, the BIPOC community is disproportionately receiving less medical assistance to combat these life threatening issues.
We will host a panel of professionals, advocates and individuals with a wealth of experience in Mental Health that will include a live Q&A open to the public to provide resources and much more!
