Sibling Support Group

“…none of my friends had a brother with disabilities. I always felt different.” - Ben






 

 

•SIBSHOP is a nationally certified support program for brothers and sisters of kids with disabilities.

 

•Sibs with brothers and sisters come together to have fun and share ideas and feelings.

•Sibs can talk about the anger, frustration, hurt, confusion and stress that come with having a sibling with special needs.

•Sibs can talk about their pride, strengths and uniqueness in having a sibling with a disability and know that everyone will understand.

•Sibs will never be asked to talk or share if they are uncomfortable or do not feel like it.
 
For Sibs ages 8-12 years old.  Monthly meetings are held October through May from 6:30-8:00 PM at The Conference and Training Center at IU 13, 1020 New Holland Avenue, Lancaster, PA 17601.
