Sibling Support
Our Sibling Support Program welcomes all siblings aged 5 to 18 years who have a brother or sister with a disability.
Our Sibling Support Program gives children and teens, who have a brother or sister with a disability, the chance to do fun things and make connections with others who understand their particular situation – connections which develop often into firm friendships and provide ongoing peer support.
Sibs also learn strategies for coping with some of the issues they may be experiencing. Being a sibling of someone with a disability can sometimes be tough and bring its own particular set of challenges. Our program gives sibs a chance to have a break from their family circumstances and important time just for themselves.
Siblings camps and day activities are age-based to allow for maximum fun, engagement and connection. All-ages camps and activities are also offered throughout the year.
It’s a fact that siblings will often have the longest relationship with their brother or sister with a disability, so we need to make sure they are supported too.
