What

For the adults who run them and for the agencies that sponsor them, Sibshops are evidence of their loving concern for the family member who will have the longest-lasting relationship with a person who has a disability.  However, for the kids who attend them, Sibshops are pedal-to-the-metal events where they will meet other sibs (usually for the first time), have fun, laugh, talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with special needs, play some great games, learn something about the services their brothers and sister receive, and have some more fun.

​

Who

Rocky Mountain Sibs Sibshops are facilitated by a group of dedicated sib volunteers.

Where

Sibshops take place in a variety of community and private spaces, and even online.

When

Check out out upcoming events calendar below or visit the Sibling Support Project to find Sibshops outside of Colorado.

Why

Sibshops may be “therapeutic” for kids to attend, but they are not therapy.  The Sibshop model takes a wellness perspective.  They’re a celebration of the many lifelong contributions made by brothers and sisters of people with special health and developmental needs.
