About Supersibs!
Supersibs! - Supporting Siblings of Children with Cancer
Supersibs! is a non-profit organization that provides support and resources to siblings of children with cancer. Founded in 1999, Supersibs! has been dedicated to helping siblings cope with the emotional and practical challenges that come with having a brother or sister diagnosed with cancer.
As a SuperSib, you may feel like your world has been turned upside down. You may be worried about your sibling's health, confused by medical jargon, and overwhelmed by the changes in your family's routine. Supersibs! understands these challenges and offers a variety of programs to help you navigate this difficult time.
One of the most popular programs offered by Supersibs! is their SuperSib Comfort Kit. This kit includes items such as journals, stress balls, and activity books designed specifically for siblings of children with cancer. The kit also includes information on how to talk to your sibling about their diagnosis and tips for coping with stress.
In addition to the Comfort Kit program, Supersibs! also offers scholarships for SuperSibs who are pursuing higher education. These scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, community involvement, and an essay describing how having a sibling with cancer has impacted their life.
Supersibs! also hosts events throughout the year where SuperSibs can connect with others who understand what they're going through. These events include summer camps, holiday parties, and educational workshops.
If you're looking for additional support or resources as a SuperSib or parent of a SuperSib, Supersibs! has an extensive online resource center available on their website. This resource center includes articles on topics such as coping strategies for siblings of children with cancer and tips for talking to your child about their sibling's diagnosis.
Overall, Supersibs! is an invaluable resource for families dealing with childhood cancer. Their commitment to supporting siblings through every step of the journey is truly inspiring. If you or someone you know is a SuperSib, be sure to check out all that Supersibs! has to offer.
