Hope for HIE’s SuperSibs program has expanded! In its inaugural year in 2024, enrolled siblings received different drops in the mail with developmentally-appropriate cohorted support packages. These contained thoughtful and curated activities, fun and unique SuperSibs swag, as well as connection to SuperSibs Support Circles hosted by Annie Gunning, CCLS, Hope for HIE’s Child Life Specialist.
For 2025, Annie Gunning and program manager, Deanna Bryan, developed a new and exciting way for SuperSibs to interact, engage with activities and have their own virtual hangout space using a platform called Canvas. Sibs will still receive the occasional mail drop (because who doesn’t love mail??), but this allows more connections to be formed and interaction with same-age siblings to form friendships!
The Hangout Space is interactive! Within Canvas, SuperSibs can get book recommendations, play games, watch videos, and learn new things! The selections will rotate over time, so something will always be new in the The Hangout!
