Do you have a child, toddler or teen, with special needs?
Do you feel overwhelmed, angry, tired, and need support?

Tea Time talk is an 8 week psycho-educational and empowerment support group for parents/caregivers needing support, education and empowerment. When a parent has a child diagnosed with a disability, they spend all their money, time and energy getting services for their child. Unfortunately through this difficult process they forget about their own needs. Years go by and over a period of time the emotional, physical and financial strain can wear down on one’s marriage, relationships, health and own mental wellbeing. Please join us......

A support group for children & teens of siblings with special needs

What does it feel like being a brother or sister of a child with special needs? Family life changes and the needs of the siblings can be overshadowed by the child with special needs. This 8 week Sib-Shop was created to support, empower, educate, and foster sibling relationships. The Sib-Shops are facilitated by psychological assistants, doctorate level mental health professionals, and Marriage and Family Therapy Interns and Trainees.


 

Group Topics include how a sibling can:

  •  Understand their brother or sister’s disability
  •  Manage their feelings
  • Navigate their relationships with peers
  • Build their own self-esteem and recognize their own special qualities

The Sib-Shop curriculum is interactive with arts and crafts, journaling, group activities, snacks, group discussions, and most of all a supportiveenvironment you can meet new friends who also have siblings with special needs.
