sibs

A sib (or sibling) is someone who has a brother or sister with a disability or chronic illness. Although Sibs often feel enriched by the experience of growing up in their family, they also face some unique challenges.  The extent to which these challenges affect Sibs depends on many other factors such as their age, family circumstances, where they live, and the severity of their brother or sister's condition.  Although each Sib's experience is unique, all Sibs can benefit from a bit of extra support during their childhood years both at home and in their community.  Sibs, parents and service providers can access three Sib-related websites from the central homepage at www.sibs.org.au
