Caregiving Around the World Panel Discussion
This week's panel discussion unveils the hidden reality of caregiving youth worldwide. Representatives from the US, UK, Canada, and Australian organizations discuss the significant challenges young caregivers face, including lack of awareness, cultural barriers, policy gaps, and limited access to support.
The panelists, each with their unique experiences and insights, share a wealth of knowledge about the needs and experiences of young caregivers in their respective countries. They underscore the importance of early identification, culturally sensitive services, and policy changes to better support this vulnerable population.
Despite the challenges, the discussion highlights the strengths and resilience of young caregivers, who often take on adult responsibilities to support their families. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of the global state of caregiving youth support and the critical work being done to empower and advocate for them.
The panelists invite listeners to support their efforts through donations and awareness-raising initiatives. They emphasize the importance of recognizing and aiding caregiving youth, who play a vital role in their families and communities.

Andy McGowan, Carers Trust (UK)
