Description:

Founded in 1990 by Don Meyer, the Sibling Support Project is a national program dedicated to the life-long and ever-changing concerns of millions of siblings of people with health, developmental, and mental health needs. Our initiatives include:

  • Sibshops. Lively events for school-age siblings of kids with developmental and health concerns. Hundreds of Sibshops exist across the US & around the world. Find a sibshop near you
  • Online Communities for Brothers and Sisters. We host the largest and longest-standing social networking groups for siblings and other family members, including SibNet, SibTeen, Sib20 and GKSN (Grandparents of Kids with Special Needs). Find them on Facebook!
  • Books. Our books for and about siblings include Thicker Than Water, The Sibling Survival Guide, Views from Our Shoes, The Sibling Slam Book, Living with a Brother or Sister with Special Needs, and Sibshops: Workshops for Siblings of Children with Special Needs.
  • Workshops and Trainings. Since 1990, we have presented workshops and trainings on Sibshops and sibling issues across the country and around the world.
