Archie’s Club
Free Siblings Support Group
Focused on sibling wellbeing and support, Archie’s Club is a program that brings together kids with autistic siblings in a safe and fun online environment.
Archie’s Club is delivered entirely online using Irabina’s Telehealth platform. Two groups, split into 6-12 years and 13-17 years, meet weekly to engage in a variety of activities that will enable children to build resilience, make new friends, receive support and improve understanding of their sibling’s disability.
Running over 12 weeks, the groups are facilitated by an Allied Health Practitioner and an autistic person who provides additional support.
Thanks to Oscars100, Irabina is able to deliver Archie’s Club completely free to families.
