CliniSibs - Group Sibling Program

We offer an after-school program specially developed by clinical psychologists to support the siblings of children on the autism spectrum. The program is run in a group which offers the opportunity for siblings to meet other kids with similar experiences. The program focuses on supporting the sibling to understand autism better, as well as learn strategies to enhance their own wellbeing and resilience.

Parents attend a parent-only session to understand the content of the program ahead of time.

CliniSibs is facilitated by experienced psychologists and is suitable for primary school aged children aged 7-12 years. We currently run the groups according to age interest (eg 7-9 or 10-12).

Here is the weekly breakdown:

Week 1: Parent-only Information Session
Week 2: Getting to know ME!
Week 3: What is autism?
Week 4: My sibling story
Week 5: Understanding my feelings
Week 6: My big feelings
Week 7: Looking after ME!

We are taking expressions of interest for the 2023-2024 school terms.
