Sibling support groups
SibShop (ages 8 to 18)
An interactive day with games and activities interspersed with time for discussion and sharing. SibShops are a great way for siblings to learn new techniques, discuss issues and meet new friends.
SibCamp (ages 8 to 18)
SibCamps are a chance for siblings to have a fun weekend away that is just for them and establish their own support networks by making friends with other siblings who they can relate to.
Parent to Parent provides support to siblings to thrive in their own unique family environment. See their website for further information on the services they provide.
