The mental health needs of children and teens has been a topic with increased attention and discussion in recent years. SIBSPlace has been providing preventative mental health care to vulnerable children and families for 25 years and our knowledge in how to encourage children to increase self-awareness, promote expression of feelings and develop coping skills can be beneficial to all.

💛 This Friday on Philanthropy in Phocus with Tommy DiMisa #InTheAttic

Join us for a heartfelt and important conversation with Joanna Formont, Executive Director of SIBSPlace, a free program supporting children ages 5–17 who are coping with the illness or loss of a sibling or parent.

This week, we explore “Holding Space for Grief and Growth.” Joanna shares how SIBSPlace uses expressive arts and therapeutic peer support to help children navigate the complex emotional impact of illness and loss—and how our communities can show up for them with compassion and care.
