Description: Sibling relationships in special-needs families carry a weight that often goes unseen. Brothers and sisters grow up alongside a sibling with extra needs — sharing in the joys, but also carrying emotions that can go unspoken: worry, responsibility, and the sense that their own needs come second. Nurturing strong, healthy bonds across the whole family is one of the most important and overlooked parts of the journey. Kana Love, LCPC, M.S. is the Director of Clinical Training at KidsTLC (kidstlc.org) and has served the organization since 2016. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor focused on relationship-based work, her areas of expertise include complex trauma and attachment, parent-child relationships, mental wellness, and cultural belonging. Kana will help us understand how our children experience life as siblings and share practical ways parents can support healthy relationships among all their kids.
