SibShops: A Space Just for Siblings (Ages 13–16)

Sibling’s are not alone and they matter, too.

Being the sibling of a child with a disability comes with unique joys, challenges, and responsibilities. Our SibShops program for teens (ages 13–16) in the phoenix area offers a fun, supportive space where siblings connect with others who get it.

This engaging program includes:
🧠 6 Interactive Workshop Sessions focused on emotional expression, sibling dynamics, self-care, advocacy, and resilience. Workshops are at 360 E. Coronado Rd. Phoenix, Az 85004
🎉 6 Fun Outings designed to build friendships, reduce stress, and just let them be kids.  In order to attend the outings you must attend the workshop sessions. Outing registrations  will be sent out the first week of each month. Outing location will vary.
🍕 Snacks and Lunch included at every Workshop Session
💬 Peer support, real conversations, and creative activities
