Sibshop and Parent Cafe Presented by ECS Tarrant County- Fort Worth

Parents are required to attend the Parent Cafe that will be taking place at the same time as the Sibshop.

What are Sibshops?

Sibshops seek to provide siblings of children with special needs with opportunities for peer support groups. Because Sibshops are designed for school-age children, peer support is provided within a lively, recreational context that emphasizes a kids’-eye view. Sibshops are NOT therapy, group or otherwise, although their effect may be therapeutic for some children. At Sibshops, children will:

• Connect with others who “get it"

• Share the good & not-so-good parts of having a sibling with special needs

• Learn how to handle sticky situations

• Learn something about the services their brother or sister receive

FREE!

What are Parent Cafes?

Parent Cafes are based on the Strengthening Families Framework and the Five Protective Factors. Parent Cafes are FREE. At Cafes, participants have meaningful, guided conversations about what matters most in our families.

FREE FOOD AND FREE CHILDCARE!!
