Family counseling includes support for parents
and caregivers, brothers and sisters, and other family members.
Helping brothers and sisters understand autism, how to deal with
their own frustrations or added responsibilities, and how to explain
autism to their friends are important skills to learn. STAR clinicians
have experience conducting workshops for siblings called Sibshops.

For parents and caregivers,
STAR clinicians can help access resources and link parents together
who have similar needs and information to share. STAR clinicians
can also provide individual and family therapy to deal with stressors
related to autism.
