This research project investigated the importance of school-based support structures for siblings of patients diagnosed with and treated for cancer. These brothers and sisters have a range of emotional, social, academic, and physical support needs that tend to be overshadowed by the focus on the patient and parents/caregivers. Sibling members of CanTeen New Zealand (an organisation which supports young people living with cancer and their siblings) participated in a nationwide online survey followed by a focus-group session in Auckland, both exploring siblings' cancer journeys and their perceptions of school-based support. The research highlighted the disruption to siblings' everyday lives; the potential of school counsellors to provide support and coordinate its provision by others for this population; and the need for home-school partnerships. This research can provide valuable insight for staff in schools where students are living in families affected by cancer, and can act as a guide for how best to support the needs of this population.
