Perlman Center Resources

Our patient and family resources provide information and support for you and your family throughout your journey with the Perlman Center at Cincinnati Children's.

Journey Caregiver Support Program

Whether you are adjusting to your child's new diagnosis or have been on the CP journey for some time, it helps to connect with others who understand. We welcome you to join our supportive community.

Journey Peer Support Groups

Peer-based, virtual support groups led by The Perlman Center social workers, who are experienced in supporting families of children with CP and related conditions. Groups are offered at varying times throughout the year. Weekly discussions generally focus on:

  • Joys and challenges related to caregiving
  • Balancing family needs and caregiving responsibilities
  • Caregiver well-being and self-care
  • Sharing information and resources

Caregiver Conversations

Sibshops

Sibshops is a nationally acclaimed program. Our Sibshops provide peer support as well as support from professionals and volunteers from Cincinnati Children’s. Each session is a carefully designed “event” which celebrates the many contributions made by brothers and sisters of kids with special needs. Sibshops acknowledges that being the brother or sister of a person with special needs is for some a good thing; others a not-so-good thing; and for many, somewhere in between. Sibshops reflects a belief that brothers and sisters have much to offer one another... if they are given a chance.

  • Sibshops is for kids 8 to 12 years old
  • Cost is $10
  • Special certificate presentation at the end of the program
  • Lunch and snacks provided
