We will bring together a wide range of stakeholders including young caregivers, educators, allies, community leaders, service providers, and decision/policy makers. Together, the event will raise awareness about young caregivers and contribute to opportunities for meaningful change for young caregivers in Canada. The event will be recorded to amplify its impact over time as we work towards getting young caregivers recognized and supported nationally in Canada.
Young caregivers—children, teens, and young adults (typically ages 5 to 25)—provide unpaid care to family members facing illness, disability, injury, and/or other daily challenges. Their responsibilities range from personal care and household tasks to emotional support and/or managing medications or finances. Despite their crucial role and the money they save the Canadian healthcare system, they remain largely invisible, unrecognized in Canadian legislation, and unsupported by society, schools, and healthcare systems. Unlike adult caregivers, they have few tailored resources and often don’t self-identify, assuming their responsibilities are simply “part of family life.” Meanwhile, countries like the UK have recognized and supported young caregivers for decades through formal support and programs across multiple sectors
