Sibling Support Initiative

For Children

Start a sibling group for the kids in your community today—because supporting siblings means supporting the whole family!

About the Sibling Support Initiative:

The Sibling Support Initiative is a statewide effort led by Ohio SIBS to connect, educate, and empower siblings of individuals with disabilities. Through sibling mentor training and collaborative partnerships with County Boards, the initiative creates meaningful opportunities for siblings to learn, share, and prepare for the roles they play in the lives of their brothers and sisters. By working with local partners, we ensure that young siblings have access to the support, tools, and connections they need—today and into the future.
