What are Sibshops?

Sibshops are lively, pedal-to-the-metal events where kids who have a sibling with a chronic health condition and/or a disability will:

• Meet other sibs (usually for the first time);

• Have fun;

• Talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with a disability and/or chronic health condition with others who “get it”;

• Play some great games;

• Explore how other kids handle sticky situations sometimes faced by being a sibling;

• Laugh

• Learn about the services their sibling receive; and

• Have some more fun!

  The Sibshop curriculum is used throughout the United States and Canada and in Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Argentina, Ecuador, Iceland, Ireland, England, Italy, Malta, Singapore, and Turkey.
