Millennium Fellowship Project: SafeHouse For Us
This project centers on prioritizing the mental health of siblings of individuals with intellectual disabilities. It involves actively listening to their perspectives on the distinctive challenges they face as siblings in this context. The initiative aims to provide guidance on managing emotions and navigating life while being relied upon by siblings with intellectual disabilities. Central to this endeavor is the creation of a community where individuals can share their experiences, fostering profound understanding among members. Ultimately, the goal is to contribute to the establishment of a more inclusive and supportive society that recognizes and addresses the unique needs of these siblings.
