Sibling Support Centre - Services
The centre volunteers will provide a safe, short term (up to two hours) play and creative setting for siblings with age-appropriate learning activities such as arts and crafts, board games, movies, video games and quiet spaces to read or rest. The centre will also provide a single-serve nutritional snack, for children who may wish to have a healthy snack break during their stay.
Our Volunteers will work to help reduce the fear and anxiety siblings may have about their brother or sister’s hospital stay and alleviate wait-time stress on families or siblings.
