Wilson HTM Foundation supports Lifestart siblings program

Wilson HTM Foundation has made a significant investment in the siblings program being run through the Lifestart Hornsby Branch. As stated by Siblings Australia, siblings can often be overlooked in the treatment of children with special needs, which can lead to feelings of isolation. If this continues, children can become vulnerable to a range of emotional and mental health problems. However, if siblings are acknowledged and connected to sources of support, they are likely to become more resilient. For further information on the Lifestart Hornsby Siblings Program phone 9144 7605.
