• Hearing about siblings' experiences was extremely useful, but Don's enthusiasm rekindled and touched the part of me that wanted to make things possible. An amazing weekend, so thought provoking, great company, such honesty from all ages- it took you to all sorts of places emotionally. Don is a truly amazing guy, so motivating, easy to listen too-the time just flew. Service provider
• A very worthwhile weekend and the way Don presented it was amazing and the time passed very quickly. After listening to Don and the other siblings, I found a lot of my feelings from my childhood resurface as if it were yesterday, but I was able to put a better perspective on things. Support for siblings is a topic very close to my heart--it's great to see that it is happening and there will be even more. Sibling

• It was great meeting you and to learn first hand about your work and Sibshops which I found extremely interesting. The professionalism of your presentation made the two days fly--an opinion I know was shared by all who attended. I particularly noted you validated people's pain in such a way that it gave them strength - i.e. they were definitely not left hanging. Mother, service provider
