Sibling Support Services
The HEDCO Clinic provides sibling support services for parents who require someone to watch their child or children while they attend their appointment at the clinic. Sibling support is provided by skilled interns in the Family and Human Services undergraduate program at the University of Oregon. These interns receive regular supervision from graduate students in the College of Education. This program is open to all clients at the HEDCO Clinic in order to reduce barriers for receiving services. Please discuss sibling support with your clinician if you would benefit from this program while receiving services.
Family and Human Services Internship Program
Internships are available to Family and Human Services undergraduate students at the University of Oregon. This internship involves working with the siblings of families and children in our local community who are receiving services at the HEDCO Clinic.
