In this webinar, we discuss the role of youth and children who have a sibling living with mental health challenges. Siblings can play an important role in the family dynamic. It is common to get questions on how we can best support them and respond to questions that they ask. During this webinar, we will explore:
- The common sibling dynamics along with emotions and behaviours that may arise
- Useful coping strategies and activities to involve siblings the best way we can when supporting a child with mental health challenges
- How to talk to your child about their sibling’s mental health challenges
- Resources that can be used to support all family members (parent and caregiver resources, sibling resources)
