Sibling connection and piecing together my identity

On this week's episode of the Voices in Action: Journeys in Care podcast, 19-year-old Tanaya shares her views on 'sibling connection' as 1 of 14 children in her biological family.

Tanaya shares that she wishes there was more thoughtful planning around the contact she had with her siblings, including individualised activities that considered the interests and ages of her siblings. 

She says that when you don't know your brothers and sisters, it can feel like "a piece of you is missing." But when you do, it helps you to understand yourself better.
