Sibshops
Workshop for Siblings
Welcome
to
If you’re a brother or sister of a sibling with disabilities, you’re not alone. Sibshops are here for you—a safe and supportive space where you can laugh, share, and connect with others who truly understand what you’re going through. Our workshops blend fun activities, games, and heartfelt discussions with the opportunity to interact with peers who relate to your unique experiences.
About
Sibshops Workshops
Welcome to our workshops, a safe and supportive place where kids can come together to share their experiences. We understand that having a sibling with a disability can come with unique challenges, and these workshops provide a warm space for kids to connect and explore their feelings through engaging games, activities, and discussions.
​
While Sibshops offer some really great support for kids, they're not formal therapy sessions. Instead, they focus on celebrating the special bond that siblings share. Attending a Sibshops workshop is more than just an event; it's a fantastic opportunity to connect, have fun, and feel part of a caring community!
