Reflections and Aspirations: A Conversation with the Real Experts - SARAH Inc.'s Siblings Panel

We are truly excited for this episode to drop! The FINAL episode of our sibling series is a panel made up of three incredible pairs of siblings reflecting on their life experiences. In this episode you will meet: Kelly and Erin, Laura and Jack, and Allison and Melissa. These siblings discuss their experiences growing up together, life aspirations, and their experiences in their communities.

The SARAH Inc. Summer Sibling Series - Sibling Panel is facilitated by none other than Emily Holl (from our first episode of the Summer Sibling Series)! Emily Holl is the Director of the Sibling Support Project which was founded in 1990. It is the first national program dedicated to the life-long and ever-changing concerns of millions of brothers and sisters of people with special health, developmental, and mental health concerns.

Emily is a social worker by trade, but also an author, trainer, and sibling who since 2003, has worked in the disability field and provided workshops, training, and groups for siblings, families, and individuals with disabilities.
