The Sibling Support Project is a national effort dedicated to the concerns of brothers and sisters of individuals who have special health, developmental or mental health concerns.
Siblings, whether older or younger, have unique and distinct roles which can fluctuate as situations with the child and family change. Understanding siblings of children with medical complexities and how they interact in the family is an important part of the journey.
PPCC and Courageous Parents Network have partnered to bring as many resources together as possible to help parents, caregivers, and medical professionals give that special attention to siblings who live and share their lives with a brother or sister with medical complexities.
The Sibling & Leadership Network website provides siblings of individuals with disabilities the information, support and tools to advocate with their siblings and promote issues important to them. The website includes information on support, policy and advocacy and research information.
Courageous Parents Network is a site created by families, for families, to support, guide and strengthen families caring for children with serious healthcare needs. Parents and pediatric care providers provide insight and support online through sharing their experiences.
Michigan SIBS exists to provide adult siblings of individuals with disabilities the information, resources, and support to advocate with/and for their brothers and sisters to promote leadership roles of siblings within the disability community. It is the state chapter of the national Sibling Leadership Network.
