Sibling Encouragement - Bridge Sibling Activity

NOTE: Hospital staff who are a part of a Beads of Courage Member Hospital, please see the Hospital Refill Store "Complementary Program" Menu to order the sibling encouragement kits or contact programs@beadsofcourage.org

Thanks to the generous support from the Scarcelli Family Foundation, we are able to offer the Sibling EnCOURAGEment Activities to our families for a donation that will cover the cost of shipping.

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 who have a brother or sister coping with serious illness often suffer from extreme anxiety and worries. Together, we hope the Sibling EnCOURAGEment activities can alleviate the stress experienced by siblings and foster communication with trusted adults.

Our Beads of Courage Sibling EnCOURAGEment Bridge Activity helps us reflect and celebrate the pillars of support in our lives. Featuring the Beads of Courage Bridge Bead that was created in honor of siblings everywhere and made possible by the Newton Family, Sydney's Coins for Courage, and Dawson, the honored sibling and brother of Sydney Newton.

Order your activity below for each sibling in your family (or people who are like siblings to you!)
