SIBSPlace (Survivorship in Brothers and Sisters) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children and families facing the life-changing challenges of a sibling or parent living with or lost to cancer or another devastating illness. Operating in the field of Business Development and Economic Support through a nonprofit and community-focused lens, SIBSPlace empowers families by providing therapeutic services that foster emotional resilience and personal development. Their programs combine art, play, and group therapy to offer children ages 5-17 a safe environment to express themselves, build coping skills, and connect with peers undergoing similar hardships.

With an emphasis on holistic well-being and family-centered care, SIBSPlace partners directly with local hospitals, schools, and community organizations to reach underserved populations across Long Island and NYC. Their no-cost services are designed to reduce long-term emotional and economic strain on families by offering consistent, developmental support. SIBSPlace’s affiliation with Mount Sinai South Nassau, a major regional health network, enhances their ability to tailor services to individual needs while maintaining high clinical standards. Culturally responsive care is integrated throughout their work, ensuring services are accessible and inclusive.
