It's time to know how people are impacted
Sibling Support Network is conducting an online survey for people 18 years of age or older, to investigate how the death of a blood-related or fictive kin sibling to a violent crime affects the mental, emotional, physical, and financial health of the surviving siblings.
Why is this important? Currently, there is no support structure for people who have lost siblings to a violent crime. The survey will help us gain a better understanding of the emotional and psychological issues surviving siblings are dealing with. Sibling Support Network will use the results of the survey to create targeted and effective programs, workshops, and trainings for people who have been impacted, community members, and mental health professionals.
