Las Vegas Sibshop Facilitator Training

Please join us January 18 and 19, 2013, for a Sibshop Facilitator Workshop conducted by Don Meyer, Director of the Sibling Support Project, and creator of the Sibshop model.
Sibshops are lively programs just for young brothers and sisters of kids with special needs. The primary goal of this two day workshop is to train new Sibshop facilitators and administrators- that is, adult siblings, service providers, parents, and others who want to learn how to run a local Sibshop.
During the two days of the… Show more Sibshop training, facilitators in training will learn about siblings' life-long concerns, find out how to organize a local Sibshop, and experience what a Sibshop is all about as they join Don and local young brothers and sisters for a four-hour demonstration workshop.
Upon completion of the two-day training*, they are considered "first generation" Sibshop trainees and may, upon registration, start their own local Sibshop.
*Participants must attend both days to become First Generation Sibshop Facilitators.
Parents, service providers, and others may choose to attend day one only, to learn about sibs' ever-changing issues across the life span. This is for an audience interested in sibling issues, but not necessarily interested in how to run a Sibshop.
