About this Event

SIBSHOPS ARE BACK!!!!

Sibshops provide siblings of children with special/support needs with peer support and information in a supportive and fun setting!

Sibshops may be “therapeutic” for kids to attend, but they are not therapy. The Sibshop model takes a wellness perspective. They’re a celebration of the many lifelong contributions made by brothers and sisters of people with special/support/medical needs.

For the adults who run them, Sibshops are evidence of their loving support for the family member who will have the longest-lasting relationship with a person who has a special/support/medial need.

Sibshops are fun and a safe space where they will:


  • Meet other sibs (usually for the first time)
  • Have fun and Laugh
  • Talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with support needs with others who “get it”
  • Play some great games
  • Explore how other siblings handle sticky situations sometimes faced by sibs
  • Learn about the services their brothers and sister receive
  • Have some more fun! 🙂
