Considering Young Caregivers

    Did you know that over half a million young people in Ontario are providing care for family members or friends with a physical or mental health challenge, all while balancing the demands of school, work, and life? Imagine the many ways that this pandemic has made the need, and the demands, for young caregivers even more challenging.

    Earlier this year, Ontario Caregiver Organization launched an online hub for young caregivers: Young Caregivers Connect.

    How can we support young caregivers and what are the opportunities for adult allyship?
