SibACCESS

The primary goal of the SibACCESS program is to increase siblings' exposure to and opportunity to process cancer-related cues to decrease onset or intensification of posttraumatic stress. The program is focused on siblings, with a brief parent education component. Parents will receive psychoeducation and brief skills training to support siblings enrolled in the program. Siblings will participate in 7 group sessions and one individual session in which they will learn skills and strategies to confront information about cancer and tolerate uncomfortable thoughts and feelings related to cancer, and thereby reduce avoidance of cancer-related emotions.
