Families and Siblings
“Supporting Them.
Strengthening You.”
When someone struggles with substance use, the entire family is affected including siblings. Brothers and sisters carry stress, confusion, guilt, anger, empathy, worry and often don't know where to start when wanting to offer help. Often times they are overlooked and unsure how to ask for help. This often creates separation through establishing boundaries that causes there to be disconnection, miscommunication and lack of communication for long periods of time.
The purpose of Sib Space is to help create a dedicated space and compassionate support services specifically designed for siblings impacted by a loved one's substance use or recovery journey.
Sib Space offers connection, clarity and strength through shared experiences while honoring each person’s individual story. Every member brings their own perspective, history, and understanding.
Within this space, siblings have the opportunity to reflect on their unique role and explore how to show up in ways that are healthy, grounded, and aligned in their lives- while navigating the complexities of supporting their sibling/loved one with substance use challenges.
Sib Space centers on personal responsibility, emotional steadiness, and mutual respect. All experiences are valid, and each experience is held with equal care.
Sib Space 's dedicated staff have years of experience assisting family members navigate the myriads of issues that arise from having a loved one affected by substance use. Our goal is to help siblings and family members feel heard, informed, supported, and connected while building healthy boundaries and relationships.
Services include weekly groups that provide a safe, welcoming environment where siblings can:
-
Share experiences without judgement
-
Develop healthy coping strategies
-
Reduce feelings of isolation
-
Increase emotional wellness and navigate the effects of their sibling's use past or present
-
Connect with other who truly understand
Groups are available for adults, young adults, and teens and may focus on grief and loss, boundary setting, education around substance use and mental health, and family healing.
