What are Sibshops? Sibshops are lively, pedal-to-the-metal, award-winning celebrations of the many contributions made by brothers and sisters of kids with special developmental, health, and mental health concerns. Sibshops provide kids with opportunities to meet other sibs, have fun, talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with special needs, play great games, learn something about the services their brothers and sister receive, and have more fun.
About the Training: The two-day Sibshop training is one event with two goals. The first is to train new Sibshop facilitators and administrators to support young brothers and sisters in their community by running local Sibshops. During the training, they’ll learn about sibs’ life-long concerns, find out how to organize a local Sibshop, and experience what a Sibshop is all about! The secondary goal is to educate parents, service providers, and others about sibs’ ever-changing issues across the lifespan.
About the Sibling Support Project: Founded in 1990, the Sibling Support Project is the first national program dedicated to the life-long and ever-changing concerns of millions of brothers and sisters of people with special health, developmental, and mental health concerns.
