Sibling Support Across the Lifespan w/Eileen Slade, LCSW

This webinar focuses on the unique experiences across the lifespan of siblings of people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD).  There are millions of people with I/DD in the United States, and most of them have siblings.  Siblings are generally the longest-enduring familial relationship that any person has, and siblings often take on integral care-partnering roles as their parents age.  Siblings can offer particular strengths and opportunities when taking on care partnerships with their loved ones with I/DD, but they are often underprepared and under-supported when they do. The trainer will share lived experience as well as utilize case studies and research in order to discuss lifespan needs of siblings and demonstrate the value of addressing them both in terms of individual and family outcomes.
