SibLink is Enrolling

SibLink is currently enrolling families for sibling groups to be held in the coming months. The groups are offered for 4- to 12-year-old siblings of children who have developmental, medical or behavioral diagnoses to help them better understand and adapt to their unique family situations.

Parents of SibLink group participants also meet to address their questions and concerns. For more information, call 401-444-8945.
