Dolphin Sibling EnCOURAGEment Activities (1 unit supports 20 siblings)

Thanks to the generous support from the Scarcelli Family Foundation, we are able to offer the Sibling EnCOURAGEment Kits to our hospital and community partners to support 20 siblings for just $1.50 an activity.

The Sibling EnCOURAGEMENTment activities can be used with the Sibling Program or can be added boosts of encouragement that can stand alone as activities by themselves.

Research shows that siblings often suffer from extreme anxiety and worries as an result of a brother or sister with serious illness. Together, we hope the Sibling EnCOURAGEment activities can alleviate stress experienced by siblings and foster communication with trusted adults.

Being a sibling is an important job! The Beads of Courage Sibling EnCOURAGEment activities are designed to help siblings cope as they too are impacted by the serious illness of their brother or sister. 

The Dolphin Activity features a printed activity, small amount of additional activity beads, string and a QR code that will link the sibling to a resource page designed just for siblings!

We invite siblings to join on our pod of support through this wonderful activity!
