The two-day Sibshop training is one event with two goals and two
audiences.
Primary goal: To train new Sibshop facilitators and administrators;
adult sibs, service providers, parents and others want to learn how to run a
local Sibshop.
During the two days of the Sibshop training, they will:
Learn about sibs’ life-long concerns.
Find out how to organize a local
Sibshop.
Experience what a Sibshop is all
about as they join us and local young siblings for a four-hour Demonstration
Sibshop.
These trainees must attend both days
of the Sibshop training. Upon completion of the two-day training, they are
considered a Certified “first-generation” Sibshop trainees and may (upon
registration) start their own local Sibshop.
Secondary goal: To educate parents, adult siblings, service providers, and
others about sibs’ ever-changing issues across the lifespan. This is an
audience interested in sibling issues, but not necessarily interested in how to
run a Sibshop. This audience attends just the
first day of the two-day training.
**This is an
in-person training. In
case of inclement weather, we will have an online
training option available**
