CT Sibling Network

CT Sibling Network

CT Sibling Network (CT Sibs) is an Affiliate of the National Sibling Leadership Network. CT Sibs recognizes PATH as the leading CT family support organization and has partnered with us to deliver programs and resources to siblings. Currently, we are serving siblings ages 18 and older.

CT Sibs believes that the lives and opinions of siblings are important. We recognize that siblings are the family members who will have the longest relationships with individuals with disabilities. While there are many positive aspects of having a brother or sister with a disability, we respect that it can be a difficult journey for a sibling with unique challenges. Siblings deserve opportunities for support and understanding, as well as information and tools to advocate for their interests and the needs of their brothers and sisters with disabilities.

Mission

The mission of the CT Sibs is to support siblings of individuals with disabilities in CT by providing the information, tools, and community to enrich their lives and the lives of their siblings.
