Adult Sibling Support Group

Adult Sibling Support Group

Are you an adult who has grown up with a disabled brother or sister? Would you like to meet others who just ‘get’ what life as a sibling is like? You’re not alone. The UK charity Sibs has a ‘Sheffield Support Group’ that currently meets online. A sibling-only environment helps siblings to feel comfortable sharing their experiences with others who truly understand. Some siblings who join a group are carers for their brother/sister, and many aren’t. Some siblings who join are bereaved.

You can use this link for more information about the charity, along with the aims of groups and how you can register to attend the Sheffield meetings.

If you’re a parent of a young sibling Sibs has information and tips for supporting young siblings with feelings, attention, and understanding disability or additional needs.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
