Growing up alongside a sibling with additional needs can be a beautiful shared journey, one that nurtures empathy, resilience, and strong family connection. At the same time, siblings also need spaces where they can openly share their feelings, feel understood, and learn how to navigate their experiences with confidence.
Together with Child Psychologist Saeeda Almarzooqi from the Wellness Hub and SEN2gether, we recently co-hosted an engaging and supportive session designed to bring families and professionals together.
Through this discussion, we explored:
- A deeper understanding of the sibling experience
- Practical, family-friendly tools to help siblings express and process emotions
Our shared goal is clear: to uplift every child in the family by creating environments where all siblings feel seen, valued, and supported. When we work together to prioritise the wellbeing of every child, the entire family benefits.
