Sibling Symposiums:
Siblings with a Mission organizes and hosts Sibling Symposiums on a national level to help siblings and families find a strong network of support, as well as to celebrate and raise awareness of the unique aspect of the sibling voice. Sibling Symposiums offer support to families and connect families to resources through 1.) presentations on the sibling experience, 2.) sibling workshops for siblings and sibling supporters, and 3.) resource fairs where siblings and families can connect with support groups that serve individuals in the special needs community.
Sibling Symposiums are open to siblings of all ages, as well as sibling supporters (parents, family, friends, health care providers, etc.) of all backgrounds. By organizing Sibling Symposiums, we hope to
1.) Support Siblings and Families,
2.) Help Families Form a Strong Network of Support,
3.) Raise Awareness of the Unique Sibling Experience To Others
