The Sibling Leadership Network
This month we discuss what caregiving looks like for siblings from long distances with sibling advocates. We are joined by former SLN Board President, Pat Carver, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee Co-Chair, Atikah Bagawan, and Peter Edmonson. We discuss challenges unique to caregiving for our siblings with disabilities from a distance and the siblings share advice for any other sibs struggling to find a way to make their long distance caregiving work.
