Support Group for Siblings
of Neurodivergent Kids
a space to be seen, heard, and understood
Having a sibling who is neurodivergent can come with many emotions — love, pride, confusion, frustration, and everything in between. This group offers a safe, supportive space just for kids ages 7–9 to share their experiences, connect with others who understand, and build tools to support their own emotional well-being.
Based in Ann Arbor, this group helps children make sense of their unique family dynamics in a validating, empowering environment—one that honors both their compassion for their siblings and their own individual needs.
