The SuperSibs Comfort & Care Mailing Programs send age-appropriate support over two years to children ages 4-18 residing in the U.S. who have experienced the childhood cancer diagnosis of a sibling.
All materials are evidence-based and developed by licensed professionals to reassure siblings that they are not alone, validate the complex feelings they may be experiencing, and provide the tools needed to cope and thrive.
Special mailings are available whenever there are changes in the patient’s treatment status.
