As many of you know, I met our Operations Manager, Casey Botkin, at Indiana University several years ago where he was presenting a workshop on how to conduct "Sibshops" in local communities. Sibshops are fun get togethers for sibilings of children with disabilities or mental illness which allow them opportunities to meet other kids with similar life experiences. Inspired by his strong and loving relationship with his own brother, Casey strongly recommends siblings to have this supportive experience and is available to organize a Sibshop for your group, school, or community. He can be contacted at 317.514.8833 by cell or email at cbotkin@connections-inc.net.  The following video tells more of the sibling relationship and the sibshop course at featured on ABC's 20/20.
