About Siblings with a Mission
Siblings with a Mission is an international organization dedicated to support siblings who have brothers or sisters with complex health conditions. We serve both siblings and sibling supporters (parents, grandparents, friends, health care providers, professionals, etc.) of all ages and all backgrounds. We offer support through our online story columns where siblings and families can share stories and exchange insights with others, a resource database where members can find other organizations and resources, a web and video chat forum where siblings can connect with others who share similar experiences, and sibling workshops and family conferences that we host around the world. By joining Siblings with a Mission, siblings and families can share their stories and make lasting, meaningful friendships with others. Siblings with a Mission hopes to create an exchange of perspectives that will provide support and spread awareness of what it is like to live with a someone who has a complex health condition or disability. Through our platforms, we hope to inspire siblings and families to enjoy every moment and to use their unique stories to make a difference. We encourage all siblings, family members, friends, professionals, and interested individuals to join us on our mission.
So please join us today, and let's help our community together! Learn more about us here.
