Mission Statement
The California Sibling Leadership Network (CaliforniaSibs) is dedicated to the siblings of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our mission is to build a network of information, support, and advocacy resources to empower Sibs to thrive throughout all stages in life. We cultivate the space for Sibs to participate, share their voices, and validate their experiences.
About This Cause
The California Sibling Leadership Network envisions a future where Sibs - the siblings of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities* - have a thriving support network at all stages of life. *While CaliforniaSibs primarily focuses on the needs of sisters and brothers of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, we welcome anyone who self-identifies with our cause. This may include sibs-in-law, cousins, and friends. It may also include physical or mental health disabilities. Our strategic objectives: INFORM: We will educate Sibs, families, and the general public about the unique needs of Sibs across their lifespan. We affirm that Sibs can have a powerful, positive impact on their siblings’ experiences, and are uniquely positioned to help ensure their present and future care in partnership with service organizations, government entities, and the community. SUPPORT: We will provide opportunities for Sibs to gather in a safe space, share stories, learn, and stay connected so they feel prepared as they navigate their family’s needs and their own needs. ADVOCATE: We will voice the needs of Sibs and their family members at the local, state, and national level to ensure policy makers include the intellectual and developmentally disabled community. We will collect, build, and share knowledge to ensure that individuals with disabilities are treated with equity, dignity, and respect as they seek opportunities to participate as productive members of society. EMPOWER: We will provide Sibs with the tools, support, and network necessary to create a fulfilling life for them and their families. We will amplify and validate the multi-faceted experiences of being a Sib.
