When a child has a medical, developmental, or behavioral problem, it affects the whole family. Siblings might have unanswered questions, concerns, and a range of positive or negative emotions surrounding a diagnosis. The SibLink program at Bradley Hospital addresses the special needs of siblings, ages 6-12 years old through meeting other siblings who are in similar experiences. To learn more and sign up, call 401-444-3744 or visit our website at SibLink.lifespan.org
