We are the Young Caregiver Council of Canada.
This blog is a space to amplify the voices and stories of young carers from across Canada. Here, you’ll find:
Stories from members of our Council sharing wisdom, challenges, and guidance
Guest contributions from young carers, highlighting their own journey, stories, and wisdom
Perspectives from researchers and professionals working to understand and support young carers in policy, healthcare, education, and beyond.
Whether you're a young carer yourself, a professional, a researcher, a policymaker, or simply someone who wants to listen and learn—this blog is for you.
Welcome to a growing movement to support young carers across Canada. Your story matters here.
