A young caregiver is a child, teen or young adult who supports a family member for a variety of reasons. It could be a parent, sibling or grandparent. They may have a chronic illness like cancer, diabetes, dementia or Multiple Sclerosis. They may have an intellectual disability like Autism or Down Syndrome. They may have a physical disability from a brain injury or workplace accident. They may have mental health challenges like depression, anxiety or PTSD. They may have addictions to drugs or alcohol. Or they may have a variety of socio-economic factors like being a new family to the country and only the child speaks English or having a single parent at home.
