RAD Sibs’ Quotes

Not everyone's going to get it and that's okay.

Find the helpful people.

LET'S
T-A-L-K

Take the Time

Take the time to talk with your parents. It may be tough but be brave! Chances are, you'll feel better when you do!

All Clear

Wait until it's all clear and your sibling with RAD is not near your parents then ask to speak with them alone.

Lay It Out

If you can be honest with your parents about how you feel and what's happening in your life, you're more likely to feel connected and understood.

Keep It Going

Talking with your parents gets easier the more you do it. So keep it going! You'll understand each other better and be able to come up with solutions, if any are needed.
