About this organization
Mission
SIBS PLACE, Inc. is a free therapeutic program that serves children ages 5-17 who are living with a sibling with cancer, or another devastating illness, or a parent with cancer.
About
Professional mental health staff foster resiliency through the encouragement of peer support and creative arts activities. During a traumatic family experience, it is important for the well child to identify their feelings through increased self-expression and coping skills. With each program experience, the organization strives to provide participants with the opportunity for healthy growth and development. THe door is open to all children no matter what hospital is treating their loved one. Peer support services to address issues of anticipatory grief are offered twice weekly. A parent support group is available weekly because each member of a family is impacted by traumatic illness. A 6-week summer camp experience, bereavement services and a monthly pre-teen and teen group are offered to support our SIBS Place, Inc. (Survivorship in Brothers and Sisters, "Sibs Place") families effectively. SIBS Place is a donor-funded program, and serves a population that has been historically underserved, at no cost to the families. The only program of its kind in the United States, it has provided 1,404 child participant visits benefitting 157 families during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. Serious illness takes its toll on the body, mind and soul of families. How parents and siblings cope with this life altering experience shapes future family dynamics. The reality is, when one family member has a devastating illness, the well child suffers too. Often, families who have a devastatingly ill loved one are too distracted to focus on the needs of the well children. It is a difficult reality for all of the family members. At SIBS Place we provide a supportive and nurturing environment where children can come together and through play, art and music therapies learn coping skills that will help them lead more effective lives today, and in their future. During programming, using the SIBS Place model, we address the children's needs through the following peer support activities: 1. Art Group-Facilitated by creative arts therapist 2. Verbal Groups - Facilitated by licensed mental health professionals - include Age Appropriate Group Discussions- Teen and Pre-Teen -Psycho-education 3. Homework Assistance- support is provided by trained volunteers including retired teachers 4. Parents Support Groups- Facilitated by mentaL health professionals 5. Community Meal- each program evening 6. Additional Events include: -Peer Engagement and empowerment Activities -Parent/Child Engagement Activities -Parenting & Wellness Workshops 7. Camp Sibs- a six week on and off-site summer activities program.
