Description:

Common Ground Society SibShops is a group specifically designed for 7 – 17 year old kids that have a sibling with disabilities.

Our goal is to serve families and that includes making sure everyone feels supported. Tayler Hockett and Bella Martinez will be facilitating the group, both have experience in education, and facilitating groups.

Parents, you can expect to drop off your kiddo knowing they have a place of their own and kids – you can expect to meet other kids like you, and have fun. Please list any allergies your sibling may have so we can make appropriate accommodations.

Feel free to reach out to Tayler at hocketttayler@yahoo.com with any questions about the group, Sibs Shops, logistics or anything else. Our goal is to make sure all kids and parents feel welcomed, supported and ready to come back the following month.

Be sure to register in advance to help us plan and ensure we can reach you with any important event updates. Please note that meetups with low registration may be subject to cancellation.

If you have any questions please reach out to Heidi Wood at supportcoordinator@commongroundsociety.org
